yoghurt & cake

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising. I’m still in my rhubarb mania although slowly the rhubarb season comes to an end. Nevertheless I noted that this year there is especially fine rhubarb in the market – lots of it. On the other hand I’m also still in my loaf cake mania: so I thought about combining both passions.

bread? sweet bread? cake?

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   I told you about Mastering Spice, a new book in my library. So I made the next try to recreate something out of the book.

a simple vanilla loaf

Dieser Beitrag enthält Werbung – advertising.   Why is it so difficult to bake a simple loaf cake? This is an earnest question because during the last months when trying to get a simple – or rather „a rather simple“ – loaf cake it ended in some more or less small disaster. So I decided to start a test series. However, for the moment admire my perfect result for a vanilla loaf: I didn’t fiddle…

I like a slice of loaf cake next to my espresso cup in the afternoon or as dessert after lunch or dinner or accompanying my espresso nightcap… I think you get it.
