[food] notes on cake
May. 15th, 2020 11:01 pmToday we made scones, with me rubbing fat into flour and directing the operation and A doing most everything else; they are the best scones I have ever been involved in making and I am delighted to have learned where to actually make improvements. (Briefly: I was overly alarmed by the portion of the instructions that goes "mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients together as quickly as possible, and handle the dough as little as possible".)
Tomorrow I am definitely going to make the familial hazelnut-and-chocolate cake for myself, Adam's wariness about it notwithstanding.
Once I've finished that (or possibly before, depending on how we're feeling) we'll make a round of pear bread, because Ocado were very insistent about selling me two kilos of pears for £3.23 and I'd just turned half the previous bag into a tub of Ruby Violet's pear sorbet.
Other cakes of which I am particularly fond, from my archives, should you feel moved to bake: brownies modified nach Geschmack, pineapple upside-down banana bread, Kardemummebullar (though really those wanted starting tonight to be food tomorrow, ah well). In the category of "I know I like this but I have yet to get around to making it": Bündner Nußtorte.
I would be delighted to hear tell of your favourite cakes, with or without recipes.
