In 2017, Germany celebrated Martin Luther and the 500th anniversary of the reformation. I observed the celebration by going to Canada.

And very American. Coca-Cola Cake Preheat oven to 350F/175C (while heating toast 1 cup (0.24l) chopped pecans in oven for Coca-Cola Icing, see below) Combine: 1 cup (225g) butter, 2 cups (220g) flour, 3/4ths cup (170g) sugar, 3 TBS Cocoa, 1 TSP Buttermilk, […] |
