I tried something new (for me) the other day. We had (and still have) a bunch of yogurt in the 'fridge that needs to be eaten. Ken suggested a yogurt cake. I found a recipe for a ground almond/blueberry variety. It calls for fresh blueberries, but it's too early in the year to find those. Then I remembered that we had a nearly empty jar of blueberry preserves in the fridge, so I finished that up by spooning it onto the cake batter and using a wooden skewer to make swirls (I've seen this technique on tv and in other recipes). It worked more or less well, depending on which part of the cake you look at. It all tastes good, though.
The big rain came through yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. You know how the tv weather people like to hype up the possibility of bad weather.
Let ME eat cake. That looks delectable. My mother actually taught me how to “marbleize” a cake when I was perhaps 6. I took to it immediately and loved doing it. Too bad I never took to baking and cooking.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so good! I am afraid I couldn't stop at just one piece though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cake! I’m sure it was very tasty.

ReplyDeleteA rainy day, is a great day to play in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI don't bake that often (because I end up being the one to eat most of the results LOL), but I love that Fruits aux amandes tarte that you make, so I am sure I'd like this. I should try it today!
