Any Home Bakers Here?

@Pensmaster The cast iron apple cake was the best I have ever made Thank you
There’s only 2 pieces left here. The cherry pie, of course canned cherries, has only one piece missing. Grandkids wanted the cherry pie but took the apple.
 
We had been grazing left overs throughout the day yesterday so we were looking for a light dinner... We had a bowl of store bought tomatoes that were heading south so Creamy Tomato Basil Soup was the choice we made.

This time out I made modifications based upon other recipes we've used. We blanched, shocked and peeled the tomatoes, then deseeded them and chopped them up. Put a little Olive oil in the bottom of the pan, added the chopped tomatoes. Added 1 tsp Thyme, 1 tsp red pepper flake and 1/2 tsp chipolte pepper and a flowery stem from the basil plant. Didn't have tomato juice with pulp, so we used a quart of vegetable stock (made like v8 in a steam juicer, no pulp) and an 8oz can of tomato sauce, cut up about 18 leaves of basil (chiffonade). Stirred it altogether and brought it up to a boil and then simmered for 30 minutes. (stick blender is broken so...) lifted out the solids with a wire strainer and plopped them into the food processor for about 3 minutes until smooth, then poured back into the pot. Added one cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of butter on low until heated through. Served up with Basil as a garnish along side some grilled cheese sandwiches for dipping.

It was yum.
