Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration held in the US, that honors the African heritage in African-American culture. We’ve decided to honor it by presenting to you this delicious cake. The filling consists of apricot jam, and on the outside, the cake is glazed with chocolate pudding. Don’t forget the popcorn, corn nuts, and pumpkin seeds that add the right amount of crunch!
Throw this flank steak on the grill only after marinating it for one hour in a mixture made of red wine, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. This way the meat turns tender and juicy!
