Bake with Bizzy 2 (Almond-Blueberry-Cranberry Cake - Nigella)

My Friday baking is upon me and I have been flipping through cookbooks.  One of the most fascinating books, I have is the Pillsbury (10 year) Bake-Off from 1959.  I rarely look at it because I thought it would be out of date and use lots of mixes.  Of course, silly me just realized, in 1959, there were probably no mixes and using Pillsbury flour is about the closest they can get to use their products.  As a result, there are fabulous recipe, in the book.

I checked out a few other books and nothing appealed.  I don't think it has much to do with appeal.  I want something simple because I am tired.  I have been cooking all morning and I have run out of steam.  I ended up baking a Nigella recipe and Nigella rarely fails.  I have not taken photos yet but hopefully, I can add them later.


Almond-Blueberry-Cranberry Cake      (adapted from Nigella Lawson’s Domestic Goddess)

  Ingredients: 

1 cup mixture of frozen blueberries and dried cranberries 
 1 2/3 cups gluten free flour   
1 cup canola oil   
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 
 3 large eggs, beaten 
2-3 drops almond extract   
1/2 teaspoon rum extract 
 1/2 cup ground almonds 
 1/2 cup slivered almonds   
6 tablespoons almond Rice Dream 
 2/3 cup additional slivered almonds 



 Method: 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 
Wash the berries  in a colander under cold water, then pat them dry, toss them in some flour, and shake well to get rid of excess.  
Mix oil and sugar until well combined. 
Gradually add the beaten eggs and almond extract, and rum extract and. then gently fold in the remaining flour and ground almonds.  
Fold in the berries and 1/2 cup almond slivers, then the rice milk and spoon the thick mixture into a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan, lined and sprayed with cooking oil. 
Place remaining slivered almonds on top of cake.  
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 325 F, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 8 to 10 thick slices.  

I am delighted with the recipes that came in, last week.  They would keep me busy for about half a year, baking and eating.  I decided, I would like purpose as to which recipes would be featured. If possible, I would like to feature a  pie, a cake and cookies.  I can always add a fourth for another category. This will keep me focused.  


Please add your baked goods for all to enjoy.  Thanks for giving this linky a good start.

Cookies - Jam Hands presents her Blueberry Crumb Bars.  (If I have time, I am making these today.)

Pies - Caribbean Truffle Pie from Moogie and Pap.  This is amazing looking.  A beauty......
 

Cake or Cupcakes - Citrus Almond Pancake from Beurista.

    I just made a blueberry lemon cake today! Yours looks very similar, I bet it's delicious. I know what you mean about the Pillsbury Bake-Off recipes, I find the older ones are by far the best because as you say, there were no mixes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
