California: Meyer Lemon Cake

By
Every time I visit Ross or Home Goods on a mission to find something, I usually come across something I love. This specific journey, I was looking for a bundt cake pan. The recipe I found for a Meyer Lemon Cake was a bundt cake one. I didn't already own one and decided it would be a worthy addition to my collection. 

I struck gold with the one I found. Because it sure made a beautiful cake...


This was as delicious as it was beautiful. The recipe used made more than enough batter for my pan. I may have overfilled the pan a little bit, as my oven had a little bit of cake shared with it on the bottom. There was also this...


Due to the overfilling of the pan, I had to bake the cake for a little bit longer than the recipe required. This yielded a little bit more brown of a cake than I prefer. This also made it a little tough around the edges.


Fortunately, the glaze hid the over-baking and it was still delicious. This cake makes a delicious addition with coffee. I had it for breakfast a couple times and I have zero shame about it.


Overall, this is a make again recipe. Except filling the pan less is a must.

Love, 
Amanda

Alaska: Tongass Forest Cookies

By
THE BEST COOKIES OF ALL TIME* For Alaska, I wanted to try Agutuk (Akutaq), which was described by the internet as: This is the most Alaskan of desserts, though only a few hardy travelers try it. Native Alaskans create this “Eskimo Ice Cream” by mixing seal oil, reindeer fat, snow, and berries. The ingredients are hand-whipped until they form a foam. Sugar is not traditional but adds fluffiness. This food was originally eaten for survival rather than as a treat, and recipes have been passed down through generations of Native families. Other traditional ingredients include moose, caribou, and fish. Modern variations often include Crisco. ASN, the party pooper, wanted none of this, complaining that she wouldn't be able to find reindeer fat. THE INTERNET defeats ASN. (She was unconcerned by the utter lack of snow in Raleigh, apparently.) So we decided upon Tongass Forest Cookies, which sounded positively yucky, and which the internet admitted had no origin story. But, ...

Oregon and its blackberries

By
Who doesn't love blackberries? Crazy people, that's who! And what's better than blackberries? Blackberries in a cobbler covered in ice cream. This week our travels brought us to Oregon and tasty blackberries. I've never made a cobbler before, so this one was pretty exciting for me. I was amazed how easy it was to make. Not only was it easy, but it was super delicious too. It was obviously delicious fresh out of the oven, but it even reheated decently. Here is my tasty cobbler right before I put it in the oven. Look how big those blackberries are! Unfortunately mine didn't come from Oregon... They were from Guatemala. But hopefully Jennifer found some Oregon blackberries in California! Here we are, fresh out of the oven. Look how fantastic that looks??!! And believe me, it was fantastic. Christy (my other half's mother) had the pleasure of trying this concoction and I'm fairly certain she was in heaven.  Bottom line? I wou...

California: Meyer Lemon Cake

By
One Dessert for A Giant State When ASN and I decided to embark on this dessert-a-venture across the U.S., ASN suggested we start in California and work our way across the country. I was excited to start with a meyer lemon dessert because (1) I love meyer lemons, and (2) I live in OC, so I have to be able to find meyer lemons, right? Well, turns out there were no meyer lemons to be found because they were out of season. A week later, I finally found the first-of-the-season meyer lemons, and good golly were they delicious! I made this cake: http://hilahcooking.com/meyer-lemon-olive-oil-cake/ The recipe was easy to make, and the cake was delicious! I thought that the cake was a little dry, but that's probably my newness cooking in this dry climate moreso than the recipe.   That said, I ate a quarter of the cake in a single day. Oops? JMN tried it and informed me that it was missing frosting, which I otherwise never would have noticed! Work folks must...
