A Cake to Bring Comfort (to Kids and Parents)

image_printPRINT PAGE

β€œInstead of remembering cancelled plans and uncertainty, maybe they’ll remember this as the time when they discovered that baking can be not just a means to a sweet reward, but an act of self-care and solace, just as it is now for their worried mother.” Margaux Laskey, NYT

This recipe makes a sweet, dense, moist delicious almost pound-cake apple bread. Thank you, Anita!

Anita’s Apple Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup ground almond flour + 1/2 cup All-Purpose flour ( Note: you can also use just 1 cup all-purpose flour in which case use only 2 eggs instead of 3). 
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter – 1 stick, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbs dark rum
  • 2 apples (any kind), peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. 
  2. Butter a 9-inch springform pan
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  4. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat. Beat in the rum and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool until just warm before serving.

These resourceful nighttime intruders have nailed getting into unlocked cars. Their break-and-enter techniques rival those used by human car burglars. And they’ve learned which are the easiest targets: minivans, Hondas and Toyotas. Best to be β€œbear aware” when travelng in the Sierras!

Most local flower shops, considered nonessential businesses, are closed. The virus has disrupted supply chains and forced florists to miss out on millions of dollars in revenue as event after event has evaporated. 
For the time being, I’m proposing a colorful/practical alternative.
