Pao de Mel (brazilian Honey Chocolate Cake)
I like learning about new baking recipes from other cultures. When I’m doing my research I look for recipes and info about it in the original language and translate it to english with google translate. In addition, I ask my gingis here from that country to give me some cultural background. This cake is inspired by one of the Gingi Community members- André Gomes de Andrade, who reached out to me and mentioned he has an idea for a honey recipe for the upcoming edition of the YASSSletter. This is a Brazilian cake recipe, made with two layers of spiced honey cake, a layer of dulce de leche in between, then covered with chocolate. How can it go wrong? I love honey. I love chocolate. I love cakes! This is such a wonderful cake, Que beleza!
