Weekend Cooking: What I Baked (In My Kitchen) in September

The first Saturday of the month is when I share all the things that I baked in the previous month. 



When I look at the photos I do see that they are very similar. This is because I am currently still very much enjoying making chiffon cakes (also known as angel food cakes). They are so light and fun to make. 




Earl Grey Tea Chiffon Cake - I posted about making this cake for this month's Cook the Books read.

 



Coffee Cream Cake - Whilst this isn't called a chiffon cake, it is a very similar technique, so I am going with it. I am also very conscious that these two photos look very similar! I will say that on both occasions I served this as dessert when we had dinner guests and on both occasions they were very impressed. Recipe can be found here.



Coffee Meringue Shards - I did put a coffee meringue shard in for my picture, but I am still getting used to the new oven so they weren't quite as good as the first time I made them. After I made the first batch I did attempt to make a half batch which is when I learned that only one egg in the mixer is too small an amount to make it whip properly.



Spicy Apple and Ginger Self Saucing Pudding - A couple of years ago, during lockdown, we self saucing puddings quite regulary. I don't remember making one last winter at all,so I thought it was time to make it ago. I have posted the recipe for this before!


National Cook Book Month



October is National Cook Book month. My plan is to post about cookbooks or books about cookbooks during all of October and I would like to invite you to join me. You could choose to post about a favourite cookbook, a new one, an old one, one from a specific country. There are so many options!



I've made this little logo for my own entertainment really. One of these days I will work on my logo making skills! Been on the to do list for a while now!


I am sharing this post with In My Kitchen, hosted at Sherry's Pickings.

  3. The coffee cream cake is my favorite although I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of the other desserts. I like the cookbook logo. Not sure how to create these logos!

  8. I need to get some chiffon cakes baked as I have a lot of egg whites! I use an electric hand mixer if I am only doing one egg white for meringues :)

    1. The recipes I have for chiffon cakes use the whole egg Tandy.

  9. I have a bunch of new cookbooks and will take you up on posting from them, I had not heard of the National Cook Book Month. That Earl Grey chiffon cake had my mouth watering. I didn't realize that there is a difference between British and French Earl Grey tea.

    I will be on the lookout for weekend cooking.
