Vanilla and Coffee layered Cake with Coffee Cream Frosting and Chocolate Decorations

I was in deep thought from so many days as what to bake for our wedding anniversary and this is what I finalised at last after googling through some of the amazing cakes from the site “Passionate about Baking”. You all might know that this blog has many lip smacking cakes and the food pics are really a feast to the eyes. I choose this cake dish as all the ingredients were available easily.


I have modified the original recipe a bit. I just made the vanilla cake the way it was in the original recipe. For the coffee cake I used my own version which I had posted earlier in my blog. I assembled the two cakes alternatively along with coffee syrup and coffee cream frosting. Finally, I decorated the cake with chocolate decorations and jelly which I had prepared for my little one.


You will love this cake if you are a fan of coffee flavor.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
