Did some baking over the weekend. Everyone likes my fruit filled cakes,
Here is my Mise en place,, Cherries, Raspberries, apples, strawberries, and plums
View attachment 3694483
Made 4 loaves of yeast raised cake. Above the pans is the extra fruit, so made an additional sheet cake,, Baking powder raised.

This is the baking powder raised sheet cake. I did not want to take the extra time to make additional yeast dough. Baking powder dough is FAST, and easy.

My total bake.,,,,, Yes someone did sneak a corner of that sheet cake, while still warm. The baking powder cake took a long time to bake. (about 70 minutes) Compared to the yeast loaves. (about 40 minutes)
So I was checking the dough on the sheet cake after first 50 minutes. Adding 10 minutes bake,, each time the poker did not come up dry. That is the reason for the corner missing. I had to make sure it was done..

Thanksgiving food is all gone or in the freezer. I can see the back wall of the fridge again!

Yes, enjoyed finishing mine too.

I’m heading into the kitchen to make cranberry orange biscotti. I know some of you make biscotti, so I’m telling you what I am going to do, so we can all bake together.

By the way, does BYC have a thread for people that are caregivers?

Not that I’ve seen but you could make one! It sounds like a great idea.

Trouble with my oven. Top element not heating properly. Baked goods get done, but don't brown properly. Mr Appliance scheduled to come and hopefully fix it on 12/7. Already had problems with bottom element. Humph!
