2024 Edition - What are you baking?

[pepperhead212]

Last night, after cleaning up from the dinner, I made another one of those Death By Chocolate Banana Breads, since I had 3 ultra ripe bananas, that I had to use, and this is the best one to make with those.

This loaf I made with yogurt, instead of buttermilk, which I was out of, and I put a tsp of coconut flavoring in, which wasn't really enough - next time, I'll use 2 tsp.

This Death By Chocolate Banana Bread Is Almost Too Good

Cocoa powder and chocolate chips make this banana bread a chocolate lover's dream.

Pepper, I betcha you could make muffins with that batter. I quit making banana bread. I just make banana nut muffins. It takes much less time to bake them and they are convenient in a "grab one" format.

I went "deep freezer diving" last week and found a bag of frozen Wild Blueberries that I had bought last February. When my Mother had to have a tooth pulled, I insisted that she stay with us for a few days after to recouperate. I made her all sorts of nice "soft foods" and she was really liking the smoothies. But I guess I missed the Blueberry flavor.
SO, long story ... I made Muffins.

I sprinkled some Sanding Sugar atop half the batch (to the right), meh, don't care for that look so much.

Sure tasted good though. I used Cake Flour that was also found at the bottom of the barrel. It's dated "opened 9-10-2019" Well, I'm guessing that it's still okay, as it was in the deep freeze all this time. Now I'm trying to remember what I had bought the cake flour for ... I think I had made this recipe.

Yesterday a friend came over. She helped me make a Swedish Visiting Cake. @vitauta originally mentioned the recipe, back in March 2013. It is a really nice, quick and easy cake.

This is an old picture. I was obviously eager to try it. It's from 2013 March 16.

Oh my lord. Please forgive me, Kaneohegirlinaz. I saw the picture before I read your post and thought you were going to tell us your muffins went bad and had mold on them. The second picture looks delicious, though.

You add pecans and coconut topping?

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

You add pecans and coconut topping?

yes.
But you could use anything, or just the ganache.
You do you though @msmofet - as I say on my blog, "a recipe is simply someone else's idea, take it and make it your own."

I just had an option for Christmas time!

I don't think so! I might have made one cake in a Bundt pan once. When I had my mini bundts (6 shapes in one base), I would use them for mini meatloafs. The one I have now has been used exclusively for Sally Lunn bread, which I haven't made for a while. Need to make some soon.

@Kaneohegirlinaz, you need to figure out who you got the recipe from.

I baked a loaf of banana coconut bread, with a generous cup of roasted walnuts. The coconut is some fresh, unsweetened grated coconut, I had in the freezer, and saw the bag in there, when getting the nuts. I used a little more than half whole wheat flour (1¼c), and a half cup each of sorghum flour, and red lentil flour, and only 3/4 c palm sugar - those bananas were so ripe they almost looked like ripe plantains!
