Banana-Date Tea Cake

Posted in food, tagged , on January 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Banana-Date Tea Cake tastes much better now. Well, this is a typical pound cake and just takes time to get ready to be eaten. So, I decided to upload my “sunken” tea cake to remind myself a failure. I have to remember that I should use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour to make the [...]

This Fried Rice was successful.
I was pretty excited to try new recipe this morning: Banana-Date Tea Cake. All my bananas were ready to be baked and I had lots of dates in the fridge. This recipe is from Tartine by Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson. This book is nicely organized and well explained. I [...]

A.A. and I didn’t do too much this weekend, but I accomplished some stuff I wanted to do: baking apple pie and tarte aux poires. The last time I baked an apple pie, I didn’t think about decorating apples over the crust. So, I arranged slices of apples a little bit fancier (I think). Also, [...]
