Chocolate & Cinnamon Kokosh Cake

When I go to Toronto, there is a dessert called Kokosh Cake that I love. I usually buy it at a place called Hermes on Bathurst Street, the address is 2885 Bathurst Street, North York. Layers of dough surrounded by a delicious chocolate filling…and sometimes I find it with a cinnamon filling which is hard to find…Since I live in Edmonton & I am pretty sure that no one make Kokosh Cake here, I have to make it myself. The recipe I decided to make is from Truffles & Trends…I made 4 small ones from one recipe…2 with 1/2 of the recipe for the chocolate filling on that page & the other one with a cinnamon filing. The recipe calls for butter, but I like to have most of my desserts non-dairy so I use Becel Vegan margarine..you can use any vegan margaine you like.. Earth Balance… whatever, or use the butter….

Brownies with a Biscoff Spread Swirl

After making some cookies with Biscoff Spread, I ended up with extra! When I was eating some out of the jar with a spoon I decided to try swirling some into a brownie! I found a recipe for a Peanut Butter Swirl Brownie on the Martha Stewart website which I knew would adapt well to using the Biscoff Spread. I wanted to use my fav brownie recipe so I adapted the peanut butter part of the other recipe to use the Biscoff Spread & this is what happened! Brownies with a Biscoff Spread Swirl!
