Croix de Lorraine(Cross of Lorraine) This old-fashioned cake is made from all natural ingredients. Its batter consists of powdered organic almonds and sugar, egg whites, praline powder, and vanilla. Very moist and rich, yet very healthy! That's right; no egg yolks, no flour, no preservatives. It was originally created by a pastry chef named M. Schwehr, in Toul, on the outskirts of Nancy and then quickly became popular all over Lorraine, France. The cake was originally decorated with the picture of the double cross of the Duke of Lorraine; hence the name. |
