Barnaby’s carrot cake recipe:
- Search the web for “carrot cake recipe” (such as this one)
- Halve the amount of sugar, double the amount of carrots
It will probably taste awesome.
How to make kiwi cake:
- Find other fruit cake recipes
- Replace other fruit with kiwis
- PROFIT
But in all seriousness, I just made one (based off this recipe, using three kiwis) and it was acceptable. Quite structurally insound, and not nearly as green as I had hoped, but tastes adequately like kiwis and very moist.
Good pre-travel baking: Granola with @brennannovak of @rvkgranola, and Germknödel second attempt — first try wasn’t much good, this time they worked perfectly, expanding to twice their original size! First time I’ve managed to make a boiled dumpling with a bready texture.
Finally figured out how to persuade my oven to get hot enough to bake decent pizza — needs 10mins in fan+broiler mode, then fan oven at top temp until heated sufficiently.
#TIL throwdough.com exists and that it’s the official dough of the American pizza team and that there’s an American pizza team and that they have practise dough #food #baking #pizza
Tonight’s #baking: Mochi v4, this time with peanuts, cinnamon and black sesame seed paste. So far it’s Mochi 2, Barnaby 1. Hopefully this round will even things up.
I think I just tried to make @nerdhaus quiche. Whether or not I accept that interpretation of the past as canon depends mainly on the degree of misshapenness of whatever it is coming out of the oven in a few minutes.
Corn starch is the paradoxical inb4/f1r5t p0st of the kitchen — it stops things from sticking by sticking to things before they have the chance to stick. #baking
Oddly shaped pizza:
Conversation in the kitchen with one of my housemates — she noted that I baked a lot and asserted that I was “housy… like a housewife” because of it. Yay archaic gender stereotypes :/
A productive evening’s baking was had nonetheless — three bagels, ~20 kanilsnuðar and one oddly shaped pizza.
Fresh out of the oven: Kanilsnúðar!
They’re a little small, I think I need to make double quantities next time! Or, roll the dough thicker and make fewer.
I followed this recipe. The Hjartasalt really does puff them up nicely!
Just out of the oven: gluten free rice flour chocolate+cinnamon soufflé!
Made following this recipe at 1/2 quantities. #food #baking #bookmark
Guess what I’m #baking (clue is in the flour and purple splats):
