What recipe is this?
Cookbook of the Month / Quarter nominations are underway for April to June – come join in:
This is the banana bread from Daily Sourdough by the Farmhouse on Boone blogger, Lisa Bass. I subbed whole wheat pastry flour for part of the AP and margarine for butter and added toasted pecans. I started it at 400° before dropping it down to her 350° to get more height. (Hers looked quite flat.) The end piece I tried was fine if a little dry. The kiddo seemed to like it and it uses 1/2 c discard so I’ll reserve judgement until it rests overnight.
Whole wheat of course makes it a bit drier but I wonder if the banana muffins don’t stay moister.

Much better (moister and softer) a few slices in after an overnight rest. I’ll bet it’s delicious with all white flour too

Part of breakfast today were these luscious sticky buns. I had the a cut of an edge, too sweet for me but DH loved them. Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy interior. Got 10 instead of 8. This is one of the selections for Tuesdays with Dorie(a group baking from Baking with Dorie) there are 14 recipes to go before we bake all the recipes. I have 20 to go.

They look delicious. I didn’t realize that Tuesdays with Doris was still going on. I used to participate decades ? ago.
Yes still there. Now they are also baking from the new Cake book but I’m not participating. There are so many other things I want to bake and then you can bake just so much ….

Another dozen (2 dozen halves) almond croissants, starting with Costco plain ones. Baked one pan at a time, 325 degrees for 20 minutes. No “extra crispy” ones at this lower temperature. Success.

My clay baker finally cracked! So bought a fancy new Emile Henry baker. It’s sooooo pretty.
Baked up this bread, which was left from when my cousin came over and I taught her how to make sourdough. It was a quick mix of flours to show her you could throw anything in it, so some einkorn, AP, bread flour, a little semolina and the very last of the millet flour that was years old and needed to be gone. Turned out great!

I decided to try these double chocolate muffins since I had no fruit and some sourdough discard to use up.
They’re pretty delicious, definitely scratch the chocolate itch. I reduced the sugar a little.

Handvo / Savory lentil, grain, and vegetable cake.
Fermented batter with spices and grated vegetables, started stovetop (because I wanted a double crust) and finished in the oven.

Blondies made with a very old bag of Trader Joe’s Sea Salt Chocolate covered butterscotches found at the back of my pantry. Tastes very good but what wouldn’t with that much butter? Cut into very small pieces for work..

Red velvet layer cake with vanilla bean whipped frosting for my friend’s daughter’s Sweet 16th birthday. God, I hope she likes it. She said she “loves red velvet” but in the same breath, “isn’t the biggest fan of cream cheese frosting.”(!?) There’s a small amount of cream cheese (4 oz) for stabilization. 
I’ve got some “happy birthday” letter candles for the big moment.

Looks wonderful!
It’s quite a compliment to be asked to bake a teenager’s birthday cake!

Thank you! I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I wasn’t expecting to sample a slice but could not pass up the offer.
It was nice and moist and the frosting was delicious. Birthday girl seemed impressed.

Glad she liked it! My understanding is that ermine (cooked flour) was the original frosting for red velvet, and that cream cheese only later became standard with it, so perhaps that’s a homemade option she would like.
