German Apple Cake


We adore apples in anything, apple crumble, crisp, pie, pancakes, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, etc.  Apples have a nice sweetness and a crisp crunch.  It is a gift of the Fall.  

 When I was choosing recipes, for the SRC, I had come down to two, I wanted to make which I did.  I posted the soup as my choice for the SRC but I also made the German Apple Cake which hubby could not stop raving about.

German Apple Cake adapted from Jenny's Cookbook Makes 16 slices Gluten-free

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
½ cup canola oil
½ cup Tofutti sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
 
Method:

Preheat oven to 350F and grease and flour a bundt pan (or a 9x13 square).

Beat the eggs, oil and sour cream on medium speed with mixer until creamy. Beat in sugars and vanilla until well combined.

Combine all the dry ingredients with a whisk, then, slowly add to egg mixture with a wooden spoon. The batter will be thick.

Fold in apples by hand, then, spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 45 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. 

Eat and enjoy.

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.

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 ...
