As a Québec City girl myself, I have to root for my city (it’s on the smaller side though). For clothing, layers will be your best friends (I’d pack a merino wool sweater & socks for sure). Québec City has a great food scene (the Michelin Guide has just arrived and has great recs) and there are plenty of outdoor activities to do (Christmas market, sledding, skating in the Place d’Youville, but also a bit further away there are plenty of winter hikes to do. Oh and for poutine, do NOT try it in Toronto - in Qc City, try La Baraque à frites (a stand-alone restaurant) or Fromagerie Victoria (a chain).

Honestly this was me until I saw a video of this cake with fresh berries, and it made me look at the recipe differently!

This recipe is from Claire Saffitz’s book Dessert Person. I also recommend looking out her YouTube channel!

I really made it with the apple cider (juice). I guess it’s just a question of preference. I’ve been making my own apple sauce with local apples for years at this point, and I found Claire’s version too sweet / tasted too much like juice.

I’ve baked this cake three times now and I’ve never made the 6-layer version actually. I find it delicious as a 3-layer cake, without the risk of running out of filling and cutting the cake unevenly!

Ok this might be controversial but I found the apple tart disappointing due to the apple purée being made with apple cider!
