Soft Oatmeal Cake with Soft Caramel Candies. Kaerahelbekook lehmakommidega
To be true, I do not know how to translate ” Lehmakomm”. I translated soft caramel candy. But in real life, I mean candies, produced in Estonia, Poland or Latvia ( and Latvian candies are the best!!) with cow picture on the package.
These candies are similar to toffees, but little bit different, I believe you can replace them with toffees (Whether Original) or dulce de leche or some similar soft caramel candies.
Use some seasonal berries or fruits: apples, rhubarb.
And! This topping is very sweet. Do not use very sweet berries or be careful with sugar.

Estonians have a saying: breakfast eat yourself, lunch share with friend and dinner give to the enemy.
So, from childhood has been repeated to us: breakfast is very important.
I am a “breakfast person”. I’m hungry in the morning and I want to eat.
And there is a huge difference between Workdays and Weekends. On Workday mornings I am so sleepy and not able to act or cook. I prefer to have breakfast something very easy to prepare.
But On Weekends I have time. Weekend Breakfast is more complicated. A lot of Estonians has a tradition: Sunday Pancakes. I usually cannot eat sweets in the morning but I like for Weekends to prepare some eggs: fried, omelette, scrambled, boiled…
Talking about breakfast habits I have to admit that as probably everywhere, Estonians has different preferences and habits 🙂
