Pear Pinwheel and Hazelnut Cake - THB




The Home Bakers organized by Joyce of Kitchen Flavours  is a group who are baking from the book,  "Coffee Cakes" by Lou Seibert Pappas .  We plan to complete the book, recipe by recipe.  This is our 4th bake, my 3rd.

 So far, I have liked all three cakes and so has hubby.  That speaks well for the book and for Lour Seibert Pappas.

For the 4th THB bake,Pear Pinwheel and Hazelnut Cake, was chosen by Zoe, Bake For Happy Kids.  
You will find the recipe on her blog.  She has made any changes, she personally made, are highlighted so you have the original recipe and her recipe. 

I was surprised at how flat the came was but I see that everyone had the same look for their cakes.  We both loved the cake which means, no one else got a piece.  No, we are not selfish.  I made a chocolate cake to share.  Actually, this one was made gluten-free and the chocolate was made for everyone.


Just a cute note.  I mistyped chocolate and it came out spelled chocolale before correction.  It made me think of a boy in my class who wrote a paper on chocolate and spelled chocolate incorrectly, each time, he used it.  (Of course, Spell Check is going to give me a hard time with this.)

    Hi Chaya,

    Your cake looks lovely! I wasn't surprised at all that the cake is flat because there is no raising agent in it. I was a little worried at first before baking the cake and glad that it is a good cake :D

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
