Dutch Liberation Day, or Bevrijdingsdag, in contrast, is a day for celebration and festivities. Liberation Day is characterized by big parties, celebrations, and festivals. Each city organizes its own festivities as well as 14 Liberation Day festivals that are held around the country. Aside from music festivals, military parades, street theatre performances, festival markets, and film screenings are common and popular events.
Let's celebrate this time at home with some Dutch specialty "Stroopwafel", that is one of my favourite cookies. These amazing Dutch cookies consist of a thin layer of "dulce de leche" syrup sandwiched between two wafers. These cookies originated from Gouda city of the Netherlands.
Stroopwaffles are meant to be eaten with coffee or tea. You keep the round disc on top of your mug and let the steam soften it for a couple of minutes. The steam heats the cookie and melts the inside layer so that it's warm and gooey. If you can't wait that long, eat Stroopwaffles straight from the package. Stroopwaffles delights everybody in your family, either you are Dutch or not. I love stroopwafel so much, divine taste, and gooey texture so amazing.
I have made a rustic cake with stroopwafels and bananas. The outcome is luscious. A beautiful evening in the Netherlands and sinful syrupy stroopwafel banana cake. Yes, an amazing combo that is perfect for breakfast on this colourful day. Time to celebrate Dutch Liberation Day with this amazing rustic cake.
If you are a weight watcher then it is not for you but if you want to enjoy the heavenly taste of this cake then go for it. The first time in while my girl ate cake and her reaction was so amazing. This cake is very easy to make with few ingredients and voila. Long weekend and stroppy banana cake... a great way to start celebrations.
Delicious rustic banana cake with pieces of stroopwafel. Enjoy this delicious cake with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
Stay healthy, stay humble!
