On Tuesday, I again baked that apple-oil Bundt cake recipe that I printed from the old Zester website, and that Rottiedogs was able to find on the internet for us. [See May 26, 2019 "What are You Baking thread.] This time, I again cut the sugar to 1 ¾ cups. I substituted in ¾ cup barley flour for that much AP flour; I used ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup canola oil, and ¼ cup buttermilk for the oil amount. I added 2 Tbs. Bob’s Red Mill powdered milk and 2 Tbs. flax meal. I probably used close to 4 cups of grated apples. (I had 5 Jonathans left in the refrigerator to use.). The recipe makes 9-10 cups batter, so this time, I baked it in my Bundt “quartet” pan, for four cakes that serve four people each. I baked them for 45 minutes, then let them sit for about 13 minutes before turning them out on a rack to cool. I later froze two of them, since the weather is warm. We had half of one tonight with low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt. Ah, heaven.
This recipe would work well in a 10=cup Bundt pan as well; it would need to bake longer in the larger pan.
I did not bake this recipe in my new range, because it has not been installed yet. The hood must be done first, and we are awaiting the arrival of the outside vent, which had to be ordered from California. It should arrive by Friday, then I have to get the stove installation guys back.
I just baked KAF Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. I used 2 cups of brown sugar (Splenda) and deleted the additional 2 tablespoons. I used 1 cup Ghiradelli Caramel chips with nuts and chocolate chips. I made this once before and forgot to put any notes on the recipe. I don't really recall whether I like these, but since I've been craving chocolate lately, I thought I'd retry it and make sure I put on notes this time. It'll be awhile before we can cut into them. Recipe says to cool "overnight."
I did more cheese pizza and some banana granola.
I think the banana bread recipe was recommended on one of the Threads a while back. I wanted to make something different and that used maple syrup. I think my previous granola batches used honey. I used pecans and sunflower seeds and threw in some sesame seeds. I don't think the sesame seeds were a good idea because they didn't stick to the bigger items but fell out. I was noticing that some recipes call for oil and others don't. DOes oil make it taste better?
Lets try this again. I was trying the banana bread granola recipe.
