Nancy from Namibia

Hello Everyone
This is an email from one of my followers. Check it out!
Thanks Nancy! Look delicious!
Hiya!!

I finally made this cake and everybody loved it!! I was even surprised myself at how it turned out.
We were so excited to eat the cake, that I forgot to take a picture!! I only remembered after midnight when it was already half eaten! That's why the pic is so dark.
If there is anything left when I go home today I'll take another pic, but I'm sending you this one just incase.

I didn't use fresh strawberries because here in Namibia, you can't just go to a store and buy those things! We have have to wait for the season and for them to arrive from South Africa. (That's why I havent' made the cheesecake yet – there has been no cream cheese in the country!!!)

So there were no fresh fruits for me to use, so I had to buy the tinned cherries – not amazing, but the whole thing tasted good.
Anything to do with milk, I don't like, but this was really nice. I'll defo be making it again.

Thanks for the recipes and the clear explanations you give, they are really helpful.

Love Nancy, 
Namibia

  1. Thank You Nancy for the pic and comment. It looks great. You can check on my blog, I posted your comment and picture there if you don't mind.

    I'm glad everyone liked it, its a delicious cake and yours came out great.


    Fresh strawberries is great to use for this Tres leches cake, but so is crushed pineapples, cherries, blueberries, any fruit really or even just coconut or nuts. Any filling you like. Also, for the cheesecake, if you can't find cream cheese try looking for Neufchatel cheese its pretty much the same. Hopefully you could find it because the cheese is the main ingredient for the cheese cake there's nothing else that could really replace it.


    Thanks again Nancy its nice hearing from you all the way from Namibia. Please do make it again and try some of my other recipes. Send me the pics and I'll post them.

    Thank You
