• guava poppy seed quick bread with cream cheese icing

  

  This is a quick, tall, not too dense quick bread that is moist and has good flavors! What more could you ask for? Have you ever wondered whether you can substitute cream cheese for the butter in a cake or quick bread? It turns out you can, but you may want to add a little…

• orange rosehip teacake

  

  Good morning! Ever since we started working from home back in March, on my days off, I’ve been spending more time walking along what is called the Interurban trail, which is a 14-mile paved, bike and pedestrian trail with plenty of greenery as well as ample opportunities for foraging fruit! A few days ago, I…

• cardamom coffee and pistachio cake with coffee glaze

  

  Am I the only one that is surprised at how it is already September? Where did the time go? Geez… So, as a result of the impending change of the season, Ben and I decided we are going to go on a road trip later on today! For now, I’m just finishing this up and doing laundry. I’m…

• bay leaf pound cake

  

  Let me tell you how I ended up making this. I was listening to Talking Heads on Pandora. Which made me think of David Byrne, the lead singer. Which made me think of Annie Leibovitz, the photographer, because she did a photo spread for the magazine Vanity Fair on David Byrne. In the spread, he’s…

• Maida Heatter’s Best Damn Lemon Cake

  

  Over the weekend, I told a friend that I was running out of ideas of things to bake. That’s not exactly accurate. I have a lot of ideas, I just can’t seem to put them into action. My perfectionism gets in the way. It seems I have a sort of “baker’s block”. I think the antidote to…

• Almond Lemon Pound Cake

  

  What do I like so much about baking? I think, in making this cake yesterday, I know. It’s going to sound simple, maybe a little corny. It’s about shape. Making shapes. Putting something into a mold of some sort, and then doing something to a substance, like putting it into an oven, or even just…
