It's Christmas time, we decorate the pine tree 🎄, racing to find the most beautiful gift 🎁. We browse our old cookbook to find the perfect menu, and the parade of desserts 🍰🤱. Spiced cookies flavored with cinnamon, gingerbread, and not forgetting the gingerbread loaf. Here, I offer a recipe by Chef Cyril Lignac that I found on Mercotte's blog. A spiced gingerbread with Speculoos, fragrant, soft, melting, hard to resist.
