I made two cakes today for my friends. One was the coconut cake with cream of coconut poured over with a Cool Whip icing with coconut on top.One friend wanted a pineapple cake so I found a recipe I tried looks good and easy . Both were made from box cake mix. The name of pineapple cake is Pineapple Sunshine Cake it's gonna be a keeper for me. I haven't tried it yet but I know I'll like it.

I made the Dark Fudgy Brownies and yesterday I made the sourdough bread again for my niece tomorrow. I made a double batch and upped the starter to 162 grams . I mixed it up at 3pm yesterday and usually it'll sit on the counter overnight but when I was going to bed last night I looked and both batches was spilling over the top. I didn't know how it would do if I panned it up and put in the fridge so I got both batches panned up at 11pm and I waited till they rose an inch over the pan baked them and I went to bed around 2 am . I baked one in a 8x4 then split the other batch in a 8x4 and one tinfoil 8x4. I loaf was 2 pounds and the split recipe made 2 one pound loaves short and small the regular one was 5 inches tall at tallest part.These were all white bread. I baked another Spicy Applesauce Cake for her too.
