White cabbage is such a delicate thing in the summer, soft and excellent. I like making coleslaw-looking-salads and serve it with something from the grill.

Love-yum-yum or coffeecake with caramel glaze

Ooops, tastes like love-yum-yum says my younger sister Elina when she takes a bite of this cake. I have never tasted the cake she refers to but truly enjoy the taste of coffee flavored caramel together with soft cake. The coffeecake can be a foretaste of a coffee snack for those who already have started their summer holidays. It is raining outside so it is definitely worth starting to bake now.

Coffeecake with caramel glaze

100 g margarine
3 eggs
2 dl sugar
½ tbsp instants coffee (15 ml)
½ tsp water (5 ml)
2 dl flour

GLAZE
100 g margarine
1 dl sugar
½ dl cream, half-and-half (cream with 27% fat)

Melt margarine. Beat the eggs and sugar until they are fluffy. Add margarine and instant coffee diluted in water. Mix flour, baking soda and cacao. Carefully fold into the egg mixture. Pour the cake-mixture into a buttered and line a 25 cm spring form. Bake in the lower part in the Owen 175°C, about 30 min.
