Gost post - Blog do chocolate & Cocoa and banana cake

Moja današnja gošća zove se Izabela i piše Blog do chocolate, blog posvećen čokoladi i čokoladnim receptima. Kad malo bolje razmislim, ne znam ni sama koliko je lako ili teško pisati čokoladni blog, ali Izabela nudi pregršt kremastih kolača, keksića, pita i ostalih delicija, a za svaki od njih vam je potreban kakao ili čokolada. Volim virtualna blogerska prijateljstva, a naše traje duže od jedne godine i zato sam pozvala Izabelu u goste, a ona će nas počastiti finim kolačem. Izabela, hvala ti puno na receptu i gostovanju!

A long time ago I had a very kind invitation from a lovely croatian blogger to participate in a "guest post" on her space "What's for Dessert?". I was very happy because I follow Tamara for over a year and vice-versa, so it's a huge privilege to present something to her readers. Tamara invited me long ago, I confess, but time passed by and when I realized, I even felt a bit ashamed for not having spent time already to prepare a recipe for her. I hope that Tamara can forgive me and, therefore, I present now and here my humble contribution with a special greeting to her and to all her readers. Dear Tamara, THANK YOU so much for this wonderful opportunity! I really hope you enjoy this delicious cake.
