Sunday Night Cake --- Club Baked

This week, we are baking this sweet Sunday Night Cake.  It is one of those cakes that simply  are good without fuss and bother.  I made this, gluten free, for my husband and left out the icing since he does not like icing.  Look, the man does not like chocolate.  What could you possibly expect?

Julie of A little Bit of Everything made this selection for Club Baked.  The book, we are using is Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito.  You can find the recipe on her blog and of course in the book.  This is a book, you probably want to have on your shelf to be taken off, time and time again.

When I went to find a photo, I discovered, I had not taken any.  I have the cake in the pan but nothing after that.  Sorry but it was good.

Check out Club Baked to see what other bakers have done with this cake.

    Looks good to me. I wasn't able to bake along this week :-( but will have to make this at some point. It was nice that you made it gluten free for your husband... no icing? I know people who don't like icing either. I think they are crazy! :-)

    Your husband and my husband should get together. Mine definitely doesn't like chocolate and is pretty anti dessert in general. Oh well, more for us right?

    Glad to hear your cake was good!

    What flours did you substitute for the gluten free version? My cousins can't have gluten and I'm always looking for things to share with them. It looks yummy in the pan - I can hardly blame you for digging in and forgoing more pics.

    My husband doesn't like chocolate much either! What is it with men and their insane tastebuds???

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

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 ...
