TWD - Double Apple Bundt Cake

-
Hostess this week: Lynne of  HoneyMuffin


With my trip to Myrtle Beach coming up, I thought this would be the perfect cake to make to take with.  I love anything with apples and double apple sounds doubly good to me!  And it is fall now and to me, apples just go with fall weather!  The double in this recipe is shredded apples, along with apple butter!  The hardest part of making this cake was shredding the apples.  I do not like to shred for some reason!

However, because I do not wish to mess up the cake by cutting into it before I get to share it with my friends on the trip, I will not get to taste it until Saturday!  So I am freezing it until then.  And you get the photo of the entire cake, instead of a beautifully cut slice.

I left the raisens out only because it seems I have made several apple things lately with raisens and I wanted to try something a little different.  So I used butterscotch chips and walnuts.

I cannot wait to enjoy a piece of it!
Thank you Lynne for a great pick this week!

You will love this cake! I admire your self control - I couldn't wait. I don't like shredding apples much either - it's hard work - but this cake is worth it.

I bet the butterscotch chips were really good in it. This was the first time I had used golden raisins. I think I would like better w/out.

And your cake IS pretty.

You're the second person I've see who used butterscotch chips. I think I'm going to have to try that. Enjoy your trip, and I hope you all like the cake!

Hope you get a chance to make the soup for CEiMB because the flavors are wonderful together and the soup recipe itself is quick to assemble. Thank you for stopping by, I always enjoy your comments.

Was this recipe really heavy? I mean, like a pound cake? I have a cornucopia shaped cake pan I want to try out and I need a really heavy cake for it.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
