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!

Mums always have those nifty hands, don’t they? My mum is real good at keeping the entire house spotless! She is my goddess!

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?

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
).

Mothers have a way of warming up our hearts no matter how we are.

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!

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!

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?

“tidy-everything” mom hands – they’re the best!

Thank you everyone. I’ll try to post the recipe soon. I’ve just too much on my plate, so to speak, right now

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.

Et bien, je suis tout a fait d’accord – j’attendrai patiemment la recette pour ce gateau qui a l’air trop bon. j’adore le gateau aux carottes, et avec la noisette, ca va etre un vrai delice.
Looking forward to it…. when you have a chance. In the meantime, have a great weekend !

je ne vois pas la recette pour le hazelnut carrot cake
Comment by christine wilson — On May, 23rd, 2009 at 7:40 am
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.
