Daring Bakers: Armenian Nazook

Another month, another challenge.  


This month we needed to make either an Armenian Nazook or a Nutmeg cake.  


I've never heard of any of these before, but I guess that was the reason why I joined the Daring Baker's challenges. 


I used the recipes that were provided by the host of the challenge, but made a few tweaks to the fillings just to make it with my touch. 


This is the first time I've used sour cream in my pastry.  I'm not sure what difference it actually makes.  But the pastry wasn't as buttery and fluffy as I would have liked.  


My 1st filling was cinnamon with brown sugar. It was nice and subtley sweet.  2nd filling was Mr A's favourite, Nutella, hazelnut meal and choc chips! 


Glad I took some photos of my prep, but once they were baked, the filling exploded and didn't look as pretty.  








Nutella version 


Cinnamon version

Overall, they were nice, but, not really my kind of thing.  I think I prefer buttery, fatty, sugary desserts!
