What are You Baking the Week of December 3, 2017?

[BakerAunt]

I had planned to bake this afternoon, but my husband and I went canoeing instead. For those of you who are baking, here is the thread.

Spread the word

I made a small batch of cinnamon rolls today (4 rolls in a 7x7 pan)

For dinner I made a thin crust pizza. I'll have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. This makes 3 days of pizza for dinner and lunch, I'm good for a while now.

[Mike Nolan]

Yeah, pizza about once every two weeks is about as frequently as I want it, whether I make it or we order in. (Recently we've been ordering in a thin crust pizza with artichokes, cream cheese and tomato chunks.)

Mostly its a matter of limiting high carbs meals.

I baked Eggnog Cake in a Nordic Ware Christmas Wreath Bundt Pan. I think that I've posted that recipe here, along with details about the various-sized pans in which I've baked it. The original recipe was for some kind of silicone cakelet pan that KAF only sold briefly, but I found that I could adapt it to Nordic Ware pans. I decided this time to use Gold Medal flour rather than KAF and to beat each egg in individually. I also used full-fat egg nog, as that is the only kind available in the store here. It will be for dessert tomorrow and throughout the rest of the week.

Hello Baking Circle, I am Rascals daughter Jan. I want to thank each of you for you fellowship with her. She has talked about some moving, and their travels and others with their adventures in baking and changing recipes around that has encouraged her to try different variations of bread. She has a bowl with the names of ones she talks with on paper in it and takes each name out every night to pray for them.
She isn't doing to well right now and I thought you might like to know.

I am saddened to hear that, Jan. I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers.

BakerAunt, I searched for your eggnog cake recipe, but couldn’t find it. Would you mind posting it when you have a minute?

I just looked it up on KAF. There is no eggnog in the cake? I would not buy a flavoring just for one cake. I’ll be interested in how you hsndled it. Maybe I could adapt my cranberry almond that uses sour cream and replace it with eggnog - I’d still use the glaze - what do you think?

Hi, Cwcdesign:

I re-worked the recipe and posted it here, along with some suggestions about pan sizes:

Eggnog Cake

You are correct that the KAF recipe used cream and the eggnog flavoring KAF sells. (Surprise, surprise.) I replaced those with a cup of eggnog. I've added, in an additional post, my recent changes. The cake also freezes well when double-wrapped in saran. Enjoy!
