What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

Variation on KA's Strawberry Marscapone Tea Cake. Didn't have any mascarpone, but did have strawberries which needed to be used up. So skipped the marscapone layer and made the cake in a loaf pan. Added cardamom, nutmeg, and a middle layer of sliced strawberries and spiced sugar. Topped with more sliced strawberries and raw sugar. Whole house smells yummy. :)
 

I made Tomato Soup Cupcakes today.
I love trying things like this.
They are just ok - I don’t need to make them again. Both DDs gave these 👎🏼. DH hasn’t tried them yet.

Angel food cake (from scratch...oiy, was that a pain), with strawberries and whipped cream (from a can, lol)

The other day, I used a mix from Soberdough (sea salt & cracked pepper); added rosemary and used a Sweetwater extra pale ale and made mini loaves. When they were almost done, brushed them with melted salted butter. They were really good!

My dear Grandmother used to make them from scratch; everyone in the family counted on getting one for their birthday cake. She actually had a teeny-tiny little rubber spatula that she used to scrape the last of the egg white out of each shell. She swore that by doing so, she got an "extra" white out of a dozen eggs and that was the secret to her perfect angel foods. Good memories! :goodvibes
 
See if you can get an established one from a neighbor. That’s how I got mine and I’ve given plenty away.
Sourdough is fun. So tasty too.

I have tried often....had one years ago, but lost it somewhere.
I am a San Francisco girl, so my sourdough standards are high! 😄
 
today I baked gluten free chocolate cupcakes for DD......tomorrow we celebrate DIL's birthday and DD can't eat her cake.
