Darned jobs anyway

Is the cake for Sue's birthday? Birthday cake always tastes the best!

Yes it is.

steamy here too, but no rain predicted. I will grill London broil (and chicken for picky hubby), home fries, and fresh roasted carrots. No stove for me tonite! Blackberries are ripe, so granddaughter and I will try to beat the birds to them!

Sourdough Multigrain Bread This is a NEW Recipe Aria.
3 cups warm water 2/3 cup sourdough starter
1 teaspoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup melted butter
3 Tablespoons Molasses
1 cup multi grains
6 -7 cups flour....I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup rye flour
and 5 1/2 cups King Arthur Organic Unbleached Flour
Note: I used 1/2 cup Bob Red Hill 7 Grains and 1/2 cup of grains I mixed....These are the grains I mixed:

1 cup seasame seeds 1 cup oats 1 c wheat germ 1 cup pumpkin seeds,
1 cup sunflower seeds l c flax meal 1 cup corn meal...mixed all together and put in a glass jar in refrigerator...when I make multigrain bread I use 1/2 cup of this mixture. Mix the dough and let rest
30 minutes.....do a stretch and fold....and then let rest 30 minutes.
Grease Tins: Note this is a large recipe I weighed the dough 4 pounds. You could probably make 3 loaves of 9 x 5 tins. I made two
two pound loaves in my Antique Large Loaf Tins. Bake 350 degrees
35-40 minutes.

Thanks Ron, This is a LARGE RECIPE and will NOT make too often. I prefer FRESH and the 9 x 5 Loaf works better for us. Aria

Cake for two, it tastes great even though I'm horrible at frosting. This is my first scratch cake in decades. Thanks again Debby.

Birthday Dinner included BBQ, bacon wrapped stuffed (with pepperjack) chicken, Potatoes Au gratin and salad.

Glad the birthday dinner was a success!

Debby, can you scale your recipe for chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting down to a single 8" round. Oven is not level so layer cakes are challenging. So I'm going for a sheet style cake for two. I'll be baking it tomorrow in between work.

You can't maybe shim the stove? Easier than shiming the house

Sue had a birthday and you didn't tell us? I better go check the NFC BDay thread!

Hi Bakers! Haven’t done much baking in the last week or two but last night I fixed some cornbread to go with the 14 bean soup I made.

Do you have to split the beans with others eating the soup or do you keep all 14 for yourself?
