A carrot hazelnut cake to say à bientôt

May 19, 2009

Lulu's mamie left tonight. We are all sad. Lulu and I decided to bake a carrot and hazelnut cake for her, one that she could easily pack and take with her on the plane. Tomorrow, she will be back in France. We are already missing her, everywhere in the house. And in the kitchen -- spotless for two weeks thanks to her tidy-everything hands. We have to love our mums!

Quel joli geste...sûr, elle va te manquer. Moi aussi j'ai cru pour un instant que tu viendrais en France. Le gâteau aux carottes avec en plus le croustillant des noisettes est un délice et a un goût d'enfance (ma mère me le faisait souvent :-) La photo est très douce.

Tout comme Cascadia Girl, j'allais demander "Où est la recette?"... Mais je suis arrivée à la fin des messages et j'ai lu votre réponse, alors nous attendrons bien patiemment cette recette... car, la photo donne l'eau à la bouche! Oui, nos mères sont souvent des joyaux que nous prenons trop souvent pour acquis. J'espère que vous aurez l'occasion d'aller en France pour vos vacances.

Sorry to hear your mom left. I can't imagine how you feel yet I am sure you treasured every moment together. Est-ce que vous organizez un voyage en France pendant les vacances?

Baking your mum a treat to carry in her travels home is such a precious sentiment. What a thoughtful daughter you are!

That cake looks divine! My mom lives in NC and I am in Las Vegas. It's so hard to be so far away, and when I go visit it's so hard to leave! -kristen

Mums are always the only ones who says the right thing in the right moment... even if they're far away their presence is always strong in our thoughts :) Good idea to cook such a yummy cake for your mum!!! Bye!

It is a beautiful carrot cake, and I love the stories about your little one. I am very lucky to have my mom living so close to me (she is dying for a granddaughter :) ).
Eralda · May 19, 2009
So sorry. I always feel bad when my parents leave (they are Albanian), especially since I know they will miss my little boy so much. That cake sounds sooo good! Can you post the recipe?
Mrs Ergül · May 19, 2009
Mums always have those nifty hands, don't they? My mum is real good at keeping the entire house spotless! She is my goddess!

I found your blog after buying your book at The Book Larder in Fremont (Seattle). I LOVE the few recipes I've made from it & am very excited to try a few from here. I'm currently baking without gluten, dairy, eggs, almonds, and cane sugar, so I've had to modify the recipies a little, but they have come out really, really good. Far and above the best cookies & muffins I've ever had that meet my restrictions. This carrot hazelnut cake sounds so yummy I was hoping you could direct me to the recipie? Thank you for your fabulous work!
