That looks delicious Amy.

We are making an olive and feta loaf tonight for with soup for lunches for the next few days.

Ha, just responded to your campfire post ...

I love oat cookies .

GD was given a packet of two mixes to make Christmas shortbread and gingerbread men at Christmas. It was passed to me to do with her and I noticed the other day it was supposed to have been used by February. We made the shortbread tonight. You had to add your own butter so the mix can only have been a bit of flour and sugar but they were gorgeous! I hope next week's gingerbread is as good!

Oat cookies!

So good! Yumm and snap! Last week, that is.
I did cinnamon raisin and walnut healthy food group ones. Subbed flaxmeal and wholemeal for part of the flour, halved the sugar, EVOO instead of half the butter.

Those mixes sound v good EM.

Chocolate fudge cake with raspberries is definitely not 'not exciting' in my book, Amy! Looks fantastic - lucky recipient

Another fruitcake. Old family fave, Fitzbillie's Genoa fruitcake with florentine topping. No angelica but. Did the 8 inch recipe in a 6 inch springform.

Wow, I know someone who'd love a piece of your fruitcake, Zero.
It looks wonderful.

As do your oat biscuits, KC2.

I'd order a slice of your fudge cake at a cafe, Amy. It looks exciting to me, a celebration

Had a busy day on Saturday to assuage my guilt at having nothing specific to do that day, so baked my Mum's Tea Bread, the lemon drizzle using kefir and a batch of Ian's (in France) noggins ...

I feel better now, but will have to give samples to friends and family so I don't scoff the lot

[Earthmaiden Profile]

Wow, Pat, lots of tea parties this week!

That fruit cakes looks delicious, ZC. I was only thinking yesterday how long it's been since I had a slice of cake containing lots of generous pieces of cherry.

The fruit cake does look lovely, but I must admit the cherries are my least favourite of the fruits in there!

[ZeroCook Profile]

.
Right, Gill - yes - I know that someone your way is very partial. Another fave fruitcake is Dan Lepard's Marmalade Dundee Cake which I recall was made with great success when he onlined it. Speaking of which, have made a batch of Seville marmalade, so that could be in the running.

I hear you about giving away samples, Pat I'm also really happy that someone around here other than myself likes fruitcake as I am liable to persistently sliver and and 'straighten'

Say it ain't so, Rainbow - big glace cherry fan, me. Two of the three fruitcake recipes I make really need whole glace cherries for full effect IMO. This one is also really best with crystallised angelica as well - so wonderful both in flavour and appearance. I used to make my own, growing up, from large stands of angelica plants in the garden.

One here for those who bake for vegans.

carrot cake - and a 'not really a moussaka' (which was really good) while the oven was on.

[slimpersoninside Profile]

Snap Scully, we made a carrot cake yesterday!

[scullion Profile]

i made paul hollywood's 'ultimate' one - i wouldn't say it was the best I've eaten - a bit dense and more gingery than i was expecting.
i'll try a different recipe next time.

[aero280 Profile]

I still have some sweet onions left. I'm thinking about some onion rolls, but OH has suggested zwiebelkuchen or zwiebeltorte. I just have to find a suitable recipe. I'm sure that I've had some in Germany that looked like treacle tart from a distance, but all the recipes I've found so far are more like quiche with a lot of egg.

MAybe I'm thinking of something else...

I've found a zwiebelTARTE recipe, which I'm going to try

I've just made a batch of small bread rolls, a success, I am adopting the strategy of fresh & frozen rolls being easy to control for one person, see how it goes

[aero280 Profile]

The small bread rolls option has found great favour in the house. They unfreeze quickly too!

[KeenCook2 Profile]

Just took this out of the oven, inspired by a bought "Butter Cake" in Switzerland!

http://de.lacucinadifulvio.com/index.ph ... l-al-burro

I used slightly less sugar (85 g instead of 100 g).
Otherwise, it struck me as one of those approx equal weight of butter, flour, eggs and sugar cake mixes.

ETA - big success!! Would recommend

Ah that looks lovely . Sometimes a simple well made cake is all you want isn’t it
