Saturday was Bridge Night at the Bicks, so I did Sunday’s Cake a touch earlier than usual. I can tell you right now: the steamed pudding was FABULOUS and the madeleines were . . .okay. Not awful but not terrific…
I’ve always wanted to try a savory cake, something earthy with a hint of sweetness. When I first presented this option to the husband, he wrinkled his nose. Olive oil? Rosemary? So I put off making this for some time…
Just when you thought you’d seen enough cranberries…this is actually a little bit of a mash-up. I’d found a recipe that called for orange juice and zest but reviews complained that the cake was dry. Plus, I wasn’t sold that…
