Well all know that Hugh Jackman is a food lover with his Instagram pictures of pastries that would make any carb lover fill with envy.

So he must get his love of food from someone in his family.

Turns out that someone is his mom!

The former X-Men star, posted a photo of his mom's handwritten recipe for "Hughby's Favorite Crí¨me Caramel Cake".

Appropriately, an hour later he posted a photo of the completed dessert, with the caption "The result of Mum's Creme Caramel!"

Better known as flan in the U.S. this Crí¨me Caramel cake, his variation of the dessert looked nothing short of professional.

After hanging up his claws, after what is arguably the best Marvel movie yet, the Logan star seems to have some skill in the kitchen.

A few weeks ago, the Australian actor posted a photo of him and his mom in the kitchen making cashew-nut flapjacks for breakfast together.
