2019 Edition - What are you baking?

[Andy M.]

Great, looks yummy. How could you smooth the surface of the cake? I never get success in giving that much smoothness.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. The frosting is liquid. I combine chocolate, corn syrup and butter and heat it in the microwave briefly to melt it. Then mix like crazy until it's smooth and shiny. Then I let it sit for a while so it will thicken a bit and I pour it over the cake spreading it so it covers the whole cake.

What wonderful baked goods you folks make!
I rarely bake because I'm just not good at it but occasionally I'm in the mood. This Peach/Almond Cobbler will be the dessert tonight, and I posted the recipe for anyone interested.

Was in SERIOUS need of BLT sandwiches, so I made a couple of loaves of plain bread. Ahhhhh...life is good!

I made these Cappuccino Brownies posted by the user cookieee. Pretty easy and they did come out good. I'm not a brownie expert so I can't comment if this is a really good recipe or not compared to other brownie recipes.

If you enjoyed them, makes no difference what a brownie expert might think about them..

I made clafoutis tonight. I've not gotten around to it the previous summer or two, and I didn't want to miss out again this year. So good!

Blueberries were on sale this week $2/Pint. That means blueberry pie for Andy!

Yum! Too hot to even think about turning on the oven. I have wild blueberries in the freezer. September.

Nice looking, Gimme.

With the end of blueberry season closing in, I need to use 'em before I lose 'em in the stores. While I use a T&T muffin recipe from back in the '70's (?), I did a little tweaking today. I subbed out 1/2 cup of the 1 3/4 cups AP flour with cake flour to give it a more cake-like texture. Check. Also, whenever I make them the berries sag to the bottom even though I dust them with flour. Today I put about half a portion of plain batter in each muffin cup, then mixed in the dusted berries, and finished filling up the cups. Much better results, but I think I need to test this recipe with only 1/3 of plain batter in each cup. Still, these turned out nearly perfect.

Joey, if you weren't clear on the other side of this wide country, I would be heading to your place with whatever beverage you would like to wash that cheesecake down with. Nice work!

Yummy Cooking Goddess. Looks like they came out great

I had a little trouble with my Magnolia style chocolate cupcakes from scratch. I am new to baking. I took quick look at ingredients and automatically assume dry goes with dry and wet with wet. After I poured sugar into flour I bothered to read directions and realized sugar goes with butter. Scraped about half back out but end result was the Cake piece was more dense and crumbly than spongy and cakey. Still my buttercream frosting came out great so worked out ok. Know for next time now. Read directions + ingredients before starting lol.

I scaled down my full recipe for cheesecake by half. I made 4 mini cheesecakes. I used my Cuisinart 10 oz. (1 1/2 C.) Dutch oven servers. I buttered the sides and bottom then put a parchment circle in bottom and buttered the top of the paper. I added cinnamon to the crust and DD wanted cinnamon cheesecake so I added cinnamon to 1 of the cakes. This is a first timer. I hope I can get them out of the pans.




If I can get them out and they look nice I'll post a picture. LOL

 

[Cooking Goddess]

No matter how they look, msm, I bet they taste delicious.


I decided to play in the kitchen while listening to my baseball game. I made another 6-pack of muffins, raspberry this time. I also have a loaf of bread busy rising. You can see part of it in the background of the shot. I still want to mix a batch of pie crust to use this week, but I'm out of ballgame. Maybe I'll like the guy hosting the extra innings show...

Nice. Looking into burnt cheesecakes for my first one. Hope it comes out well also.
Let me know if yours comes out well or if u figured out something a first timer should look out for...
