I feel like my duty as a French dessert blogger is to share French recipes. I mean, it makes sense, right ? As a result, today's recipe is a traditionnal French Christmas recipe.


Coquille de Noël is a brioche from Northern France (by the way, this tarte au sucre is another recipe from Northern France - can you guess where I live ?). This brioche is only available in stores around the Holidays (which is a shame because it's delicious). When you start seeing coquilles in stores, you know Christmas is coming.


This Christmas brioche, shaped as a swaddled baby Jesus, is a staple of Christmas day breakfast or Holiday snacks. In elementary school, before Christmas break, we'd get a little bag filled with chocolate, an orange or a clementine and a coquille. It's not Christmas if we haven't eaten our weight in coquille de Noël - at least in my house.

Chocolate Cake (No Eggs)

This delicious, moist chocolate cake is made without eggs.

I made this chocolate cake because I wanted cookies.
Problem was, I was out of eggs.
I did try to find a recipe for egg free cookies, but I soon realised I probably wouldn't like the result ; I'm not a fan of dry cookies. I then set my mind on finding a recipe for a chocolate cake I could bake without eggs.


I found this one, and then realised I was also out of oil. Seriously, this kind of thing only happens to me. I had butter, though, so I replaced the oil with butter and I was able to eat egg free chocolate cake.
And it was delicious. This chocolate cake is moist, and light despite it having no eggs. Add a generous dusting of icing sugar, some chocolate flakes, and you'll be in chocolate cake heaven. It would definitely pair up well with whipped cream, too.

Snickerdoodles (Baking soda and cream of tartar free)

Want to make delicious cinnamon cookies that stay soft ? This Snickerdoodles recipe uses only baking powder, no baking soda and no cream of tartar involved !

Snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles.
That's a fun name. Where the heck does that word even come from ? BRB going on a Google search.


Back from my Google Search, and apparently snickerdoodle either comes from the German word for snail, or it's a completely made up word. That sure helps.
ANYWAY.
