Dinner (Foodie)

Tonight will be: Pork chops braised in apple cider; potato gnocchi; plus beets and daikon radish parboiled then roasted in a marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic.

There will be cranberry juice for beverage and possibly some kind of baked goods for dessert.


Wish me luck! :-)

Cranberry (sauce) Sour-Cream Coffee Cake - PART TWO

Have just tried this recipe for cranberry coffee cake.

Was out of eggs, so it required a fair bit of tweaking.


Recipe went as follows:

3 tbsp granulated sugar
1/3 C margarine
1/3 C sour cream
1/2 C apricot-ginger cranberry sauce
1/2 tsp orange extract

1 C wheat flour
1/2 C ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt


Creamed together the wet ingredients (and the sugar). Whisked together the dry ingredients. Added the wet to the dry and blended until moist and kind of lumpy.

It's now divided between two small dessert-loaf pans, baking at 425F (because my oven is basically broken - normally this would be 375F) until... probably close to 6pm.
My hope is to get a couple of small, airy loaves out of the dough, but we'll see how it goes (I suspect crumbling and, thus, trifle, will ensue. But I'll have to get more eggs, first). :-)



TTFN,
Amazon. :-)
