Buttermilk Bundt

Posted on May 5, 2021 by sparecake

This bundt came out great! It’s not particularly tart, or anything else that really comes to mind with buttermilk, it’s just…cake flavored. Good cake flavored? It doesn’t feel heavy, but it is dense enough that I’ve been feeling satisfied after … Continue reading →

Pineapple Crumb Cake

Posted on April 21, 2021 by sparecake

We’re making a bit of a mess here today, but not too bad, and for worthwhile results! A pineapple right-side-up cake, because who needs flipping?! This should in theory be cooked in a 10″ cast iron skillet, but if you … Continue reading →

Salted Caramel Apple Cake

Salty-sweet caramel apple topping on a cake with a shockingly light, wonderful texture. You do have to refrigerate leftovers, which feel more dense after refrigeration, but it’s still fantastic! Definitely one worth repeating. Ingredients: Topping: 3 apples, peeled, cored, and … Continue reading →

Melt In Your Mouth Blueberry Cake

Posted on July 29, 2020 by sparecake

Another one from the Amish cookbook, but this time not enough to feed 800 people at once. Actually, they say it’s often served crumbled into milk, so if you’re eating it alone, slowly enough that it got stale, you could … Continue reading →

A smattering of things

Posted on July 1, 2020 by sparecake

Going to share a few things that maybe aren’t worth their own posts today. First up: Spice Cabinet Chicken Rub Am I kind of sharing this just because I’m pleased I finally found a use for the MSG I bought … Continue reading →

Chocolate Glazed Cake

Posted on May 20, 2020 by sparecake

I bought ingredients for last week’s layered chocolate dessert knowing I’d need to use up some cream and the chocolate syrup, so it was a 2-dessert plan, along with this cake. It was, I’m going to say, a very good … Continue reading →

Orange Marmalade Cake

Posted on February 26, 2020 by sparecake

A lightly orange cake with a firm outside, and a very orangey, custardy topping. Unlike last week’s cake recipe from a ’70s cookbook, this one’s from a ’30s cookbook, called, amusingly enough at this point, The New Art of Modern … Continue reading →
