The last cake I ate was the Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar-Pecan Streusel from Cook's Illustrated Magazine, November/December 2002 (I subscribe to www.cooksillustrated.com). It was seriously the best coffee cake I've ever eaten. There is probably a limit to how good coffee cake can be, so let me lower your expectations a bit, but it was a very very good cake :)<br /><br />Today I've just made the Mint Chip Icebox Cake from The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook - it has to set up overnight - and we love that recipe (this is the fourth time I've made it). Love the original and mocha versions too.<br /><br />And I want to try a new recipe for our lunch and dinner dessert today - the Light Chocolate Bundt Cake from the same cookbook. I doubt it can be as good as the Rich Chocolate Bundt Cake from Cooking for Two 2009, which was REALLY good both times I made it, but I want to try all of my recipes in my cookbooks, so I'm giving the light version a try today :)<br /><br />Yep, lots of cake on the menu around here this week :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1168986764540059412007-01-16T17:32:00.000-05:002007-01-16T17:32:00.000-05:00This cake is awesome with thickened applesauce on ...This cake is awesome with thickened applesauce on top instead of the coconut.

I wanted to get it out of the pantry and my daughter and granddaughters were here for the weekend so it was an ideal time. Carrot cake and cream cheese frosting. The girls didn't want to wait until it cooled to frost it, so we ended up standing at the counter cutting a piece at a time and scooping the frosting out of the can to smear on. They loved it, and I LOVE any cake and enjoy making homemade ones.<BR/><BR/>Jan<BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1157551990016945072006-09-06T10:13:00.000-04:002006-09-06T10:13:00.000-04:00One of the "country editor's" from TOH, lives in m...One of the "country editor's" from TOH, lives in my small town( Exeter, Ontario).

At all. I try not to eat it, ...I don't like cake. At all. I try not to eat it, and it is harder to avoid eating desserts than a person might think. People press them on you like dealers, and it only gets worse when they find out you aren't a fan of sweets. I have people coming out of the woodwork with pastries, pies, tortes - "Just taste it, you will love it!". Ick. LOL!<BR/><BR/>But when my daughter and husband baked me a birthday cake last January, we all know I had to eat a piece. And it was very good. If you like cake - tee hee! And I will probably eat a piece of the cake they make me next year ;)DancesInGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516526687504692899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1157551310477338892006-09-06T10:01:00.000-04:002006-09-06T10:01:00.000-04:00This cake looks so moist...it looks like a good "b...This cake looks so moist...it looks like a good "breakfast" cake. I've never heard of Tandy Takes (?) but it sounds delicious! I think you're right about the topping...take some of the sugar out and it would be good. <BR/><BR/>BTW, my lack of black pepper was of GROUND black pepper. We had peppercorns, but I didn't want to grind 1 teaspoon, so I just used cayenne...more heat anyway!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454178191447024827noreply@blogger.com
