Notes about Recipes in this book

• Brown sugar-peach cobbler

  • Shewi128 on March 11, 2022

    This was very very sweet, but we loved it. If I make it again, I will make it with less sugar.

    We really enjoyed this! My peaches were pretty firm (enough so that the blanching method to skin them didn't work) but I thought the sweetness for them was just right. I might adjust the sugar if the peaches had been riper/sweeter. I used only about half of the orange zest as called for, and none of the almond extract (don't care for that flavor) but used all the orange juice. Definitely on the 'do again' list.

• Apples and honey upside-down cake

    Loved this cake!

    I really loved this cake. It’s a perfect fall treat

  • lorigenes on September 22, 2023

    This was a hit with the whole family. A few steps but an easy cake. Would recommend using a mild honey, as the honey flavor really comes through. Mine was done at about 45 minutes (my oven is typically very accurate, but I did use an aluminum cake pan and not sure if that made a difference).

• Cheddar-jalapeño green onion biscuits

  • lorigenes on August 16, 2023

    Excellent, quick and easy. I omitted the jalapeno pepper (family members that don't like the spice!). Use a large rimmed baking sheet and put them about 2" apart for better browning.

• Roasted strawberry cake [roasted strawberries; roasted strawberry-cream cheese frosting]

  • SugarTreeBaking on July 05, 2021

    Roasted strawberries? Interesting idea. The house smelled heavenly while the berries were in the oven. I made the cake the next day and assembled it. It was hot and humid in my kitchen, the frosting was melting, but a few quick trips to the refrigerator and the cake was lopsided but complete. The roasted berries were delicious in the cake and spectacular in the frosting- the roasted really dials up the strawberry flavor. My daughter said it was the best cake she has ever eaten. And I’ve made a lot of cakes. I will be making this again. (In a cooler kitchen.)

    The cake and the roasted strawberries are delicious. The frosting was however too sweet for my taste... 750 grams is A LOT of confectioner's sugar! If I make this again I will choose a different frosting recipe.

• Ekmak

    The ricotta is a bit more savory, so you need the honey and powdered sugar on top.
