a couple of days ago a friend of mine was trying to describe a weird guy he bumped into once, and used the expression "one of these bio germans", which might sound funny but also describes a lot of people here in germany...
tonight i went for dinner to some german friends who are really into that bio stuff, they buy only bio products, work for bio cooperatives and everything that goes with it. i'm not really into that, but i wanted to bring a cake so i had to come out with a bio cake... at the beginning i thought i could bake a macrobiotic cake following a recipe that i copied years ago from a book in some weird stand. i also thought i could bake a vegan cake. but first i could not find the tahini, which is supposed to be some kind of soy butter, then i realised no way i could be able to bake a cake without eggs, so the vegan/macrobiotic idea just blew away. but still, i managed to turn one of my usual cake recipes into a bio cake and the result was pretty good:
560 g bio wholemeal flour
500 g bio cane sugar
200 g bio butter
400 ml bio milk
6 eggs
100 g bio chocolate noir (to be chopped and spread around)
1 pck instant baking powder (although i wanted to try with yeast but i was running late, as usual!)
it was delicious, not sure if the bio stuff had any influence on that, but still, pretty cool recipe!
