Paule’s cake
l Switch language for recipe in French l
I tried “Le cake de Paule” during a warm summer evening. I was immediately seduced by the hazelnut taste and the sweet one coming from carrots. This cake is very soft, colorful , and give a taste of autumn with its hazelnuts. Carrots and tomatoes bring color and hazelnuts a subtle nutty flavor and crunch.
Did you know that nuts are very good for health? With over 10 nutrients, nuts are an important source of fiber and help, through their high composition of monounsaturated acides fat to lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) . They also have antioxidant properties that reduce lipids oxidation in the blood and therefore, limit the cardiovascular risk .
Eat hazelnuts !!!
