Thread: What's Cooking?

I thought I'd open a thread that expands on the 'Who Bakes Bread' the 'Just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys' and 'The Breakfast Car is Open' as we don't always fix just bread or have a meal to show.

I'll open with a cake I made today.

I started with a boxed Spice Cake that I weighed and then measured out half as I only wanted a single round cake.

I used commercial apple juice instead of water and since to make the entire mix required 3 whole eggs I used 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup of oil.

I peeled and sliced a Pink Lady apple then used some of the apple juice along with some butter, cinnamon and some brown sugar along with a bit of nutmeg to simmer the slices until barely tender then removed them from the liquid and then reduced the liquid until it was a medium syrup.

I cut a piece of parchment paper to fit, then buttered the pan, installed the paper then buttered the top of it and proceeded.

Apple slices on top of the buttered paper:



Reserved Syrup added to apples:



Out of the oven:



Turned out of the pan and ready to eat:



It was good! But I think a bit of whipped cream or cool whip would make it the cat's meow.

Thanks for looking
