BIZZY BAKES

Peach-Cashew Coffee Cake  The scheduled recipe for the Home Bakers is a Peach-Cashew Coffee Cake and I am happy to say that I made this choice.  I love peaches and hubby loves nuts so we have a cake akin to a marriage made in heaven. When, I chose the cake, I did not know it was to be scheduled at this time but once I got the date, I thought, I would be able to pull it off and I guess I have.  I feel badly that I didn't get better photos but it has been an incredibly busy month with school and the Jewish holy days, which I am sure I have repeated over and over again.  I had no time to make this a second time although, I am thinking, it would be a wonderful cake for the upcoming Succot holidays.  If I do make it, I plan to update the photos, if they are better. I am sharing the recipe as it is written in the book.  I made mine gluten-free to accommodate my husband.  I ended up using frozen peaches to save the time of preparing fresh pea...

THB: 21 - Plum-Polka Dot Caramel Cake  (click above to get the recipe for this winning cake) Joyce of Kitchen Flavours started  this group and Emily of Emily's Cooking (Makan2) Foray selected this cake from the book, we are baking from,Coffee Cakes, simple, sweet and savory by Lou Seibert Pappas.  As far as I am concerned, we have made a lot of successful coffee cakes, since we started sharing together.  Please contact Joyce if you would like participate too .  Joyce l eads a number of groups which you might want to check out.  Have fun. I made mine with peaches which Pappas said to slice but I just divided them into two pieces each.  I was a little concerned because the peach had to be pushed down a bit further and I was afraid that it was going to push its way up.  Hurrah.  It was just fine.  I could not locate my two piece tart pan so I made this in a pie plate.  I had no problem getting it out, I am happy to say....

Grace of Life Can Be Simple chose the recent cake from "Coffee Cakes" by Lou Seibert Pappas. It is the Lemon-Glazed Buttermilk Bundt Cake. We liked this one just as we have enjoyed almost all the cakes from this book. Of course, we are a coffee cake eating family. My cake is gluten-free and I made mini bundt cakes as well as some cuties, below.  I love to make little cakes and hubby pops them down, with ease.  I used powdered sugar in place of the lemon glaze which I am sure is delicious.  Hubby does not like glazes or frosting.  I did throw some blueberries in the batter. The Home Bakers is hosted by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours . We would love it, if you would join us. Just drop a line to Joyce.

                                                                                                                                       I am working on catching up with the group, The Home Bakers.  I have fallen behind because of all good reasons, school, making a wedding, Passover and LIFE.  Taking a deep breath, I...

THB : Cinnamon-Apple Walnut Torte (The Home Bakers) Jasline from Food Is My Life - has chosen this wonderful apple dessert, rich and crunch and a delight to taste,  Cinnamon-Apple Walnut Torte .  I made this and an apple kugel at the same time.  The kugel came out like a cake and this came out like a kugel.  Both were delicious. I did not use nuts in my torte so as crunchy as it was with the apples, you will see the others are even better. I am busy with the upcoming holidays and I am asking you to please check out the recipe on Jasline's site or another member of the group's blog.  There are great bakers, in the group, and I am sure, you will enjoy their results. If you are interested in baking with us, contact Joyce at Kitchen Flavours.

I am late making this Mocha Cappuccino Coffee Cake for The Home Bakers, a group baking coffee cakes from "Coffee Cakes" by Lou Seibert Pappas. I love this book since my husband is the happiest with coffee cake. This cake was chosen by Lena of Frozen Wings who bakes the most marvelous cakes. Just take a look. Out group, THB, was started by Joyce of Kitchen Flavours. If you would like to join us, contact her and have some fun, with us. Why am I late? I have agonized over this cake since I saw it on the list. I would love it but hubby would not like the chocolate that marbleizes that cake. First, I decided to cut the recipe way now and make it with the chocolate. When I asked my husband, if he would eat it, he said, "no". Then, I decided to skip the cake completely. I did not want to eat it up myself. The date of posting came and I was not linked up. It didn't feel right not to be linked. I still could not decide what to do. Then, I talked to myself...
