Funny Initiation Things To Do




is my little son who will be! He loves when his grandma makes desserts. As if his mother was not him!

The other day, ending his piece of cake Queen Elizabeth I had cooked, he solemnly told his mother, convinced he was having found the reason why this cake was so good, "Grandma Loulou, she puts brown sugar, HER! "

bad for him, the cake still contains today ;-). But I think he will like it anyway, because it is a recipe given by the talented chef Louis-François Marcotte, so comforting in his book entitled Memories: Revisiting our traditions .

And what's nice in this cake is that there are no nuts. My little son will be able to bring to kindergarten in his lunch box!

Last hour : Small-son loved it! He even asked his mother if he could have two or three installments in his lunch box ;-) His mother told him that a piece was good enough!





banana-chocolate bread

10 servings ½ cup (100 g) salted butter ¾ cup
(150 g) sugar 1 tsp
teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs beaten

4 small ripe bananas, mashed coarsely with a fork
3 squares (85 g) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (the recipe when I do it again, I will opt for a top quality 70% chocolate)
2 cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour biological
a pinch of salt 1 tsp
teaspoon baking powder (baking powder) 1 tablespoon
teaspoon baking soda

In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla for 2 minutes.

Add beaten eggs, bananas and chocolate, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.

In another bowl, combine dry ingredients in mixing with a fork and add to wet mixture, stirring just enough to bind the two mixtures.

Pour into loaf pan (23 x 13 x 7 cm) buttered (I use margarine) and floured. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) about 1 hour or until a bamboo skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool before turning out. Cut slices with a bread knife or serrated knife.

This recipe is from the book Memories : Revisiting our traditions , Flammarion Quebec 2010, p. 86.
