Please welcome Lynda from Taste Food Blog. Lynda is a Paris Cordon Bleu graduate. After her culinary journey all over Europe (France, Switzerland, Great Britain and Denmark), she came back to the US 17 years later with a Danish husband and two children.
I recently started following her blog. The photographs are stunning and I love her approach to classic French dishes, many of which I grew up eating. Today she’s sharing her chile chocolate flourless cake, especially for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!
This month, I have the pleasure of guest-posting on Jackie’s wonderful blog, Pham Fatale. When I discovered Pham Fatale, it immediately resonated with me. It shares a similar love for feeding friends and family, while influenced by an international family and life. Jackie’s Vietnamese parents, Parisian upbringing and vegetarian, sweet-loving husband create a kaleidoscope of good eats which keep me coming back for more. And with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I can’t think of a more perfect way to share a little blog (and chocolate) love with her readers than with this recipe.
Flourless chile-chocolate cake promises to add a little spice to your Valentine’s Day. Laced with chipotle, cayenne and cinnamon, this dense fudgy cake has a naughty kick of smoke and heat cloaked in chocolate that’s both surprising and exciting. Now that’s a Valentine’s cake.
