MEMOGRAPHER | Travel Photo Journal

Mayan Apocalypse did not happen, and I have decided to celebrate the beginning of New Era by baking my favorite desert- Russian Apple Cake ‘Charlotte’ (Пирог Шарлотка, pronounced as ‘Sharlotka’). Even more, I’ve thought it might be a good idea to share International recipes here in my Travel Photo Journal. Honestly, I do not cook at all. But, I can do anything if photography is involved, hee-hee. So, here you go, my first ever ‘Recipe in Pictures’ and, possibly, the beginning of my so-called Instagram project ;)

Cook it and please let me know how you like it.

Ingredients

Chicken Eggs
Baking Flour (all-purpose flours with a protein range below 15% will work)
