Well, 1st I could not find the recipe, should have known and just forgotten it.... looked thru all my mags, which are quite a few as some of you know. I saw it somewhere.... then thought- Pinterest!!! no, not there. it was for an apple cake, sounds good huh??
Went to AllRecipe and searched for apple cake, found a bunch!! This is one that had the exact picture I remember, a small round cake..
WEEEEELLLLL.... it made much more than one cake, recipe called for a 9x13 pan and that is a large cake. but I started out with the small cake pan I had.... To make what the picture looked like... (let it be said here that I don't like 'messing' with a recipe and normally follow things exactly, especially when baking... do get adventurous with cassaroles tho) well had the eggs in the bowl and did not have enough veg oil, so used olive oil, as oil is oil, right??? There had been reviews of this cake and they said they cut the oil to 1/2 cup from 1 cup and sugar 1/4 cup less, so did that... Not enough flour!! Added some wheat flour. Then not enough sugar..so I ran out of oil, flour and sugar!!!.. AND the batter was crumbly, not at all like cake batter, you know it is supposed to be sort of flowy... so added about 1/4 cup milk, sounds good huh?? At least got the texture was looking for, finally...When added apples it was apparent that it was too much for my pan, so got out another round pan or deep dish pie plate really... then bake for 35-40 minutes.. not done added 10 minutes.. now done, but looks a little dark on the edges... Don't know yet what the taste is :) ???? It sure smells good tho....
Take Care All.. Wish us well haha
I would try it out if I was close by:)
ReplyDeleteHanging on the edge of my seat......
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: the cake was pretty good, but now I have two, what to do with it ??? think the neighbors are tired of me taking things over there!!
ReplyDeleteCan I be your neighbor? I'll never get tired of you bringing over food - LOL!
Deletehaha you can freeze it but remember to defrost it in a plastic bag and then heat it before serving in the plastic bag, just for a few seconds it will be nice and moist
ReplyDeleteGee, a slice of warm apple cake sounds so good. I wonder if I have the right ingredients... I don't think I have flour - I'll have to put that on my list. I throw away too-ripe bananas, when I lived in a house I used to make banana bread with them, so if I get some flour I'll get to do that, too. Thanks!!! Your apple cake looks delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteSome days are not meant for cooking or baking! I'll bet it is good though, the ingredients sound tasty. I'd love to help you sample it!
ReplyDeleteSay, do you realize sitemeter is randomly and occasionally high jacking your site when people try to come to it. Apparently Sitemeter has been bought out by some other company that isn't playing fair. You need to remove the Sitemeter code in your blog to stop it and dump sitemeter. Al from the Bayfield bunch had to do it as well as I and others. We are now using Statcounter.
ReplyDeleteThey send some of your viewers to a garden site. I dumped mine over six months ago. Just thought you might like to know this.
Bob from the bobseyes.net site.
No, did not know, what is that? and how does it do it, is it a bad thing? Is the sitemeter, the total page views?
DeleteIt doesn't really hurt much, except when I try to get to your page and other people too, sometimes they send us to a page that is paying them, instead of us seeing your page. Apparently some time ago, you insailled sitemeter on your site and put some code in your blog, so sitemeter could work as a site counter. Some company apparently bought out sitemeter and are using it unscrupulously. Yes, the sitemeter is the total page views as you see it. :O) They mostly send us to a garden site which I've forgotten the name and they only do it sometimes to make it hard to realize it is happening.
DeleteI love experimental cooking. Hope it was yummy
