What are you baking? April 2025

These went over very well. (I think my youngest nephew consumed half of one loaf of tiger cake on his own over a few days :joy:.)

On to ideas for next weekend.

The spanakopita bread was wonderful, but I can’t repeat it because there will be real, homemade spinach pie (with phyllo from scratch) :joy:)

Thinking about the tomato paneer loaf (also from Chetna Makan), as I have a jar of oven-roasted cherry tomatoes that would be perfect to swap in for the chopped tomatoes she calls for. Wondering how cottage cheese would fare instead of paneer (I can make paneer, but I’m just curious).

For sweet, my reply to @BarneyGrubble reminded me that I’ve not made that lovely orange ricotta cake in a long time. Perhaps with a glaze for some oomph.

But I also have some pandemic-era homemade orange marmalade that I could apply to @CaitlinM’s shared recipe, or puree into the one @Nannybakes shared. Hmmm.

Trying not to default to brownies, crowd-pleaser though they always are, but those orange creamsicle blondies I was playing with and forgot about might be a nice alternative. I might try one of the other recipes I did not get to yet.

Open to other ideas for both sweet and savory!
