The other day the Kiev International Culinary Academy had a sale on their new Swiss roll ebook and I missed it. I have been waiting for it to go on sale again and it did today. It’s up for 24 hours. Particularly looking forward to the honey roll, the hazelnut, and these:
Everyone seems to like it, I’ve only made it with bread flour + cake flour.
Since my mixer bowl won’t fit into my microwave for the proofing (microwave does NOT get turned on, I’ve been transferring it to another bowl then back into the mixer for final 5 minutes to get air bubbles out.)
This last time I kept it in mixer bowl and placed in my oven with oven light on. Also put a pan of boiling water on bottom shelf.
If we’re going pie, I’m going rhubarb.

We used to go to Apple Hill about every other year until I discovered I can buy Fujis (and a few other varieties) for $10-12 per bushel less than 10 miles from home. It’s a packing shed and not a tourist trap - I mean DESTINATION - so there’s no pies, ciders, or doughnuts, so count that as a plus or minus as you see fit.

I made the Claire Saffitz almond cake.
It’s fantastic, and nearly gone already.

I made the (Martha Stewart) chocolate dump cake for Sunshine with her mother’s frosting recipe. As usual, Sunshine did some “Midnight Snacking” on the cake. There are only two pieces left, so I’ll need to make some type of dessert in the next couple of days.
I’m going to scan this thread for some ideas.

I’m interested in making that, too. It needs to cool down, a bit though. Maybe October!
Yes… that is the recipe. I really like this particular recipe – simple and tasty!!

It really is tasty! I’m trying to teach myself to duplicate Sunshine’s mother’s frosting for it. I’m not quite there yet, but Sunshine is enjoying my “trial and error”!! (LOL)

That is the classic wacky/crazy cake that hails from the depression era, though the MS version is on the low end on cocoa. I prefer Margaret Fox’s version, which has about twice as much, for a deeper flavor.

Still looking, it isn’t where I thought it was. It may have been in an old Gourmet or Bon Appetit magazine. I looked online and it doesn’t look like the ones I saw. The cake recipe I have made has 3 or 4 thin layers separated by a thin line of line of mocha with the layers painted with a coffee syrup, first. There is a thin ganache icing on top. Edible gold foil garnished the top. Dang I hope I can locate it!
