Pom Koek (Belgian Coffee Cake)

I found this vintage recipe on the Internet while looking for unique recipes to submit for the Zaar World Tour. It comes from the recipe files of Margaret Dens Buytaert, a Belgain who resided in Wisconsin. The idea of coffee as the liquid in this quick bread intrigues me. Sorry that I will not have a chance to prepare it for a while. If you try it, please share your reactions.

Basque Cornbread (Pain De Maïs)

Columbus took cornbread back to the Old World in the 15th century, and thanks to some of his Basque crew, cornbreads took hold and are still produced in local bakeries. Nice with a hearty soup or stew.

Bahamian Johnny Bread

This recipe is a cultural staple in the Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean and is a family favorite(one which I have tweaked a bit over the years to suit various tastebuds) but its a wonderful bread/cake-like dish thats commonly served with soups and souses of all kinds (for breakfast, lunch or dinner)and can also be wonderful after dinner supper topped with jam and served with tea or cocoa. My family especially loves to eat it like a sandwich with cheese or peanut butter in the middle.Yum…the choices are endless. Hope you enjoy!!!!

Austrian Coffee Cake (Abm)

This delicious yeast coffee cake can be made with either cherries, plums or apricots. The almond paste is quite difficult to grate, as is suggested in the original recipe, so I cut it up into little chunks and interspersed it between the pieces of fruit. Rising time is included in the preparation time.
