Vintage Banana Cake




I made this today for my sister’s birthday. I consider myself a pretty good baker and my batter was very thick. Since I only had all-purpose flour I followed a recipe I found for substituting that for cake flour. I omitted 2 tablespoons per cup and replaced it with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. I then sifted the flour five times. My cake didn’t rise as much as a cake batter should but the little I tasted wasn’t as dense as banana bread. I’m thinking either the cornstarch was a bad idea (even though the recipe swears by it) or I mixed the batter to much. Or both. Hoping it’s not a total flop tonight for dessert.

Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

Made these last night and they are tastyyyy Here’re my changes (for you gluten free folks :): -Subbed whole wheat for 3/4c oats ground with my coffee grinder, 1/4 buckwheat, 1/4 whole unground old fashioned oats. -Chia egg for real egg -added some almond extract and raisins Rolled the whole thing in plastic wrap and froze it, now I slice it off when I want fresh cookies! Reduced the sugar so they’re breakfest-y but sometimes I roll them in cinnamon-sugar like snickerdooodles 😛 Happy baking! Recipe >> Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies @ amyshealthybaking.com

I just made these last night for my bookclub, they were sooo good! I made the caramel the night before and refrigerated it. The shell recipe makes way too much, I think I had enough left over for a pie! I used 18 full sheets of graham cookies. The cupcake itself was pretty easy to make, however the baking was tricky, it was only 14 min baking when I noticed cracks and panicked, so I took them out, then noticed they deflated and looked too watery in the middle so I had to put them back in for a few more minutes. Other than that it was great! Will definetly make them again with strawberry sauce instead :) Recipe >> Cheesecake Cupcakes @ cookingclassy.com
