· Bake at 350 degrees for 35 – don’t over bake.
· This cake does not look pretty, but it tastes delicious.
I noticed quite a few of your recipes include nuts. My mom and many of my cousins are allergic to almonds. Do you have any suggestions for giving recipes a "nutty taste" without actual nuts? Any suggestions?
ReplyDeletePaulette,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to lose weight and you are making me very hungry! No picture - I am now gathering that the other pictures are pictures you took of your own creations! I am very impressed! I wonder if you should give yourself photo credit.
Hi Mona,
ReplyDeleteI don't have any suggestions for your nut question. In my recipes, they seem to add more texture so I would just leave them out. My husband doesn't like coconut and I leave it out sometimes and the cakes still taste good.
Hi Jeannie,
I am trying to lose weight too, so I feel your pain. But once it's off, just think what you have to look forward to :} I took the first three pictures but didn't take the apple crisp one. That is one thing I wish I could do better. I am trying to learn from Robert.
Thanks anyway Paulette. I have to agree with your husband on the coconut. :-)
ReplyDeleteFor the non bakers in the crowd: What's the difference between german chocolate and good old everyday semi-sweet?
