So far this week I've made the Oatmeal coconut cookies from RiversideLen and they are great.Stayed chewy and soft. I made the Lil Chocolate cake from Just a pinch and it's one of our favorites.It is an easy cake and only uses a whisk to stir up.It makes an 8 inch pan perfectly and never domes up so it always looks perfectly flat when frosted.This cake makes one layer and sometimes I double it very chocolatey.It calls for a cup of hot water but I always use hot black coffee and it just boosts the chocolate flavor.I always frost with chocolate icing and sometimes when making two layers I put white buttercream in middle and chocolate on outside.
Lil Chocolate Cake By Cass (giving credit to her from Just A pinch)
1-cup a.p.flour
1-cup sugar
1-cup hot water(I use hot black coffee)
1/2-cup baking cocoa Hershey's I like the special dark either works
1-tsp.baking powder
1-tsp.baking soda
1-egg
1/4-cup melted butter

1.Preheat oven 350* grease an 8 inch baking pan.
2.In medium bowl combine 1st six ingredients.
3.Add egg and butter mix well.I only use whisk no mixer needed.Mixture will be very thin.
Pour in pan bake @-350* for 30-35 minutes till done can use toothpick test.
This cake is so easy. I had forgot the egg one time,put cake in oven turned around and said oh sh--.Pulled it out greased other pan stirred egg and mix back together and all was well lol
Cassie said she dusted top with powder sugar but we like icing.

That's all I've done so far.

I made a batch of cinnamon rolls Saturday and threw in some left over mashed potatoes I made with sour cream and butter and that made the dough so soft and moist really good,then frosted with cream cheese icicng.Made 4 pie crusts today and an apple pie.So more pies are in the near future.

Give it a try as I did this awhile back not in the fridge over night but add more yeast work it in and see what happens.You'll only be out of a little yeast if it doesn't work.My yeast was old and didn't work ,had to go to town and buy more and my rolls worked fine.Good luck.

[Joan Simpson]

You're very welcome,I know it turned out well.

I've cooked this many times.Just fry cube steak till crusted,take up add onion and flour to pan to make a gravy put steak back in gravy then place in oven 325* for an hour or 2.will be very tender.Will be fork tender.I just seasoned with salt and pepper.Pan needs to be covered.Hope this helps you.Yep,it's a southern thing biscuits and rice and you in business .

Thanks Mike ,I will try this.

[Joan Simpson]

Bakeraunt I figured I could try, if it didn't work that would be OK because they surely weren't rising.They turned out really good,rose slam out the top of the bowl.With all the extra yeast it had no effect to the taste of the sweet rolls.

My sister came to visit a few days with me and I did a lot of baking,cold oven pound cake,cherry pie,one layer chocolate cake and I made a batch of cinnamon rolls yesterday.Well I mixed them up and the dough would not rise,waited like one and a half hours sooo went to town for more yeast by the way had already added and extra teaspoon while waiting but I added 2 &1/4 tsp more mixed it back up with a little more flour to compensate for the added water kneaded it well again and they rose almost over the bowl.They turned out well so I was a happy camper.Shared with all my kin folks near me and they're already gone.As far as the Super Bowl it was fantastic.I'm a Ga. girl but pulled for the Patriots.What a game.

[Joan Simpson]

Wow that's a lot of flour.I only have White Lily self rising,KAF Unbleached A.P.,KAF Rye,KAF Bread,KAF wheat,and Swans Down Cake flour.This is it for me.

Made a big pot of Brunswick stew which I shared with 2 other families and shared the pound cake I baked also.I love to cook and bake and with just the two of us I have to share.My husband's taste for sweets has changed....yep...but not mine,he'll usually eat one or two slices of cake ,pie or whatever I've cooked then that's it for him.But I keep them pots and pans rattling :).

Happy Birthday to Bakeraunt.This week I baked a cold oven pound cake and a one layer chocolate cake ...all gone!

Once frozen when thawed they are tan not brown and you can literally squeeze them out the end of the skin.I throw them in the side tray of the door of freezer.

When I make Banana Bread I let my bananas get very ripe almost black and they make very good and moist bread.My recipe doesn't use mixer so I mash up if needed.If I ever have bananas going to waste I throw them in freezer in the skin-not peeled.When I want to make bread with them I let them thaw out tear the end open and all the goods just slide out.
