What are you baking? April 2025

All done.

I made 2 Tigerkaka / tiger cakes in loaf form, using the Medrich recipe. (1 recipe calls for a 10-12 cup tube pan, and fit perfectly into 2 loaf pans.)

I followed the recipe surprisingly faithfully :joy: except that I used a mix of sour cream and milk instead of just milk, because I had that pesky container that was aging in my fridge.

And I used Chetna Makan’s spinach loaf recipe as a base for “spanakopita bread” — with added feta and cheddar.

I sautéed the spinach with lots of garlic and red chilli flakes first, rather than boil it per the recipe. Also used sour cream instead of yogurt because it needs to be used up, and thinned it with milk.

Baked mini loaves because I thought they would be a better sized slice for the gathering, whether we eat it as an app, or with the main meal.

I think I’m baked out, but I’ve got a notion to make Makan’s tomato loaf as well, using oven-roasted tomatoes I jus picked up. Let’s see if I get a second wind!

Not going to cut into either till tomorrow with the first recipients.
