Petit gateaux are a recent love of mine, but one that goes way back to when I started making entremets. They don’t always intertwine, but petit gateaux are surely just as complex and need just as much attention as any entremet or cake does. And I guess that is the reason why I love making…

{Butter Spritz Cookies} – Fursecuri cu unt si ciocolata

Needless to introduce you the Sacher cake! It’s chocolatey, it has apricots, it’s moist, packed with taste and just a classic that will never die. Well, this Sacher loaf cake is kinda the same thing, except it comes in the form of a loaf cake which is easier to store and slice, it keeps sealed…
