Marquesa de chocolat
It’s snowing, snowing, snowing. Winter shows itself from its most beautiful side. What a timing. We have about 20cm of snow, which is a lot! Snow? What is she talking about you may think if you come from Maine or Finland for example. But hey, I am happy with what we have, and since snow had been on the scarce side for the latest years (excluding last year) I am happy the moment snow powders the surroundings with a magic calmness and stays for more than a few days. This year, I am sure, we will have white Christmas.
I finally made it! I tried a German version of Valerias Marquesa de chocolat, a Venezuelan equivalent of German Kalter Hund. The picture above on a green sheet is my version of the cake, and the other picture is of the real Venezuelan Marquesa du chocolat. I will post both versions of the recipe here, they just differ slightly. Valeria: despite my difficulty to find maria cookies here, the cake was a real hit. We enjoyed it on a cold dark Sunday together with dear friends. Everybody started licking their fingers after dipping them into bits and pieces of leftover chocolate on the plate.

I am still travelling, but fortunatly have internet access today and decided to not go hiking today. We have hiked so much these latest days, I feel like I am familiar with Gros Morne national park already. If you haven’t been to Newfoundland yet – GO! It is such a beautiful and friendly place. You can just be – no rush and no goals.
So for today I decided to take a jog, explore Norris Point and write up this neat little recipe.
Kalter Hund – cold dog – is a German (at least I only know this recipe from Germany) cake without the need to bake. It contains all the things you actually don’t want to think about too much. But it is a classic, which I want to share with you and invite you to make your own version of it – with your kind of shortbread.
