Two Lovers in Search of Good Cake

Posted on February 13, 2012 by castironidaho • 4 Comments

Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is here again!  We heard on NPR this morning that the average American spends a ridiculous amount of cash on Valentine’s Day gifts, something like $150.  Really?  Instead of making it a consumer holiday, why not show your love by cooking dinner together, complete with a fancy dessert? … Continue reading →

Marty and I made this Carrot Cake for the Dutch Oven Potluck.  The truth is, Alex’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake was better.  This is the second time we’ve made this one, and we’re still perfecting it.  It was actually better the first time, burned a bit on the bottom this time, so be sure not … Continue reading →

And the winner is………….Alex Neiwirth, with his fancy delicious Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside Down Cake! While the Dutch Oven Potluck was a great success, and a good time was had by all who attended, attendance was a little lower than we’d hoped!  What’s wrong, people?  Is Celebration Park too far away?  You missed out, but … Continue reading →

Thanks to everybody who came to the open house at City Gardens!  As requested, here’s the recipe for the bread we served.  It’s from my Simply in Season cookbook, with a few small changes.  It’s a pretty sure-fire bread recipe, too, I use it a lot because I’ve never had it not rise or come … Continue reading →
