My dear foodies. I am sorry I have been absent for a while, but I have checked some of your blogs, and have tried to keep up with the latest developments in our foodie world!
I have had a lot on my plate lately, and I am now getting ready for a Florida vacation! Yeah!!! Finally!
I will stay for about 2 weeks, or so I hope, but I will have my laptop with me, so keep in touch, and I will too. I have rented a house, so kitchen will still be available to me, you never know, maybe I whip up something while having fun on Marco Island!
Thanks for visiting, and here is a cake made of ground carob, which I loved to snack on when I was little. It is great, next time I am thinking about making an entire torte out of it, with cream, and the whole nine yards… : )

Medena, what a great looking dessert. Only, where do I get carob here? I have never heard about it before.
I loved your pictures!
Have fun in Florida!
Thank you all! :)
Farida- I have no idea where you can buy it, but I get it at my local ethnic stores... If you really would like it, I can ship you a pack or two! Did you have it before?
I have no idea about carob. Never had it before. Maybe when I see it I recognize it. I did a search on google to read more about it, but honestly, did not find anything informative. maybe it's called differently in Russian? I would know then. Don't worry about shipping it to me:) It's so nice of you. I'll let you know when I decide to make it and you can send it to me then. THANKS, amiga!
Hi Farida! I found a Russian name for carob: Рожковое дерево. Hope this helps :)
what a beautifull cake!
here, I just find the caroub syrop ( whithout add sugar ).
can I do with ?
thank you!!
Hi grazi, and thank you!
As for carob syrup, I don't know how that would work as a substitute, because carob meal is like flour, also called carob flour...sorry...I think this powder would do:
