Wine Cake

Submitted by Kate — 2009-10-07T07:46:01+01:00

This cake is a blast from the past and produces a wonderfully moist cake. It was very popular in the late 70's and early 80's. The alcohol in the cake dissipates during baking.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

My friend Peggy Thompson sent me this recipe in an email. This can serve two if your feeling generous. A couple of scoops of ice cream will round out each half. A drizzle of chocolate sauce couldn't hurt either. And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!........ Note from Kate: My first test on this recipe, the cake was a bit bland and slightly tough. I only had jumbo eggs and that is what I used. I made a note of this in the recipe and added some salt. The next cake was really much better. For the second test I mixed the batter in a cereal bowl and poured it into the mug. This is best served warm.

Sourdough Bread

Submitted by Kate — 2009-06-21T09:16:09+01:00

In the days of chuck wagons and cattle drives the cooks were often called "Sourdoughs" for the starter that they relied on to make biscuits and pancakes for the cattle men. The starter was usually kept in a sealed crock and the cooks would sleep with it if there was danger of freezing. My late brother in law Bill Nannini always asked me to make several loaves of this bread for horse camping trips because it kept so well on the trail. This is a really old recipe and you need to start the day before you plan on baking bread. A really active starter can climb out of the bowl so always make sure to use a big bowl.

Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

These muffins will have your family hanging out at the kitchen door. These are a very tender muffin, great for a snack or breakfast. The apples and raisins provide almost one serving of fruit. I have to hide these from my daughter Erica! But I always make a double batch.
