STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #43: Autumnal Four Layers Cake With Some Nuts And Caramel. Second post for my entry with autumnal dish! (Sweet)

Good morning guys! 💛 🍂 🍁

Today I'm bringing to you my second recipe for Steemit Culinary Challenge. Because we had to make two recipes for one entry - there you go! If you missed out my first recipe, don't worry! You can check it here 😊. I have a lot of fun with creating these dishes and spectacular results!
I love autumn (I know that I wrote that in my posts in the past haha), so this theme is perfect for me!
I'm also happy that I am able to participate in this challenge and also in Steemit Iron Chef. This gives me soo much fun during creating dishes and thanks to that I'm better in cooking and creating new recipes.
Who knows? Maybe one day I'll have my dreamy FoodTrack with healthy food? That would be amazing! 🤗
Ohhh, again I lost myself in daydreaming about FoodTrack, but let's come back to my recipe.


Today I'm bringing to you sweet recipe for four layers cake in order:

  • dates with nuts
  • millet with nuts
  • pumpkin puree
  • and amazing nutty caramel from dates!

Yeaaaah, these two last positions I've loved since the first spoon. That was first time when I've done caramel from dates and I can say that, for me it's even better than this "normal". Whole cake is so balanced, thanks to added lemon juice into millet. And best thing is, it doesn't require baking! So Yummy!
And it's really tempting!
Isn't it?
😍 😋
