Peanut Butter Snack Cake #CakeSliceBakers

 Another month of difficult decisions in my cake making world.  Siren's Chocolate Cake? Sour Cream Coffee Cake? Peanut Butter Snack Cake?  Oh wait; the peanut butter cake has an option for chocolate buttercream - that's the one for us!

Another easy-to-make cake with great flavor from Candace Floyd.  The cake batter took about 10 minutes to put together and 20 minutes to bake.  I let it cool overnight, whipped up the buttercream in the morning, and we had cake sampling at lunch!




The recipe recommends either a peanut better frosting or chocolate buttercream with chopped honey roasted peanuts sprinkled on top.  The cake was moist and had a nice peanut butter taste.  I plan to make this again in a few weeks with the peanut butter frosting.

    I'm glad you went with the chocolate frosting. I was tempted because...well, chocolate and peanut butter. In the end I went with all peanut butter but that doesn't mean I won't be making this again with the chocolate frosting.

    I love that you did this one with the chocolate! I loved the PB frosting - it was delicious. Definitely amped up the peanut butter flavor in every bite

    I passed on this cake and now I wished I hadn't. That chocolate buttercream is everything!

Tart Cherry Almond Cake #CakeSliceBakers

Image
 The Tart Cherry Almond Cake starts with an easy almond-flavored cake batter that you then fold in tart cherries. Once it comes out of the oven and cools, it gets a soak in an almond simple syrup and then topped with a thick glaze and a sprinkle of slivered almonds.  The only problem I had with this recipe is that the cherries all sunk to the bottom. The recipe says you can use either fresh or frozen tart cherries. I had a couple of jars of tart cherries in my house, so I decided to use one of those. The note at the top suggests placing half the cherries on top of the batter if you're using frozen, which I did with my jarred cherries. But they all sunk anyway. With the cherries all clustered at the bottom, I had to work to get a proper taste of all the components. And while the iced cake was good, and the cake-encased cherries were good, the cherries with iced cake was perfection. If I were to make this cake again, I would cut the cherries into fourths, and I might even opt to coat

Chamomile Cake with Honey Creme Fraiche #cakeslicebakers

Image
For my May Cake Slice Bakers bake, I chose the Chamomile Cake with Honey Creme Fraiche.  I had my doubts about it when I chose it; it was chosen mostly for convenience and not out of excitement, but I was wrong.This cake was delicious!  The cake was light and flavorful. The icing was the perfect complement.  Everyone in my family enjoyed it. I used chamomile tea bags instead of dried chamomile as that's what I had on hand.  Creme Fraiche is not sold in our local store, and given the current pandemic conditions, I did not think I should go shopping about for it.  The internet had several suggestions, but one was familiar to me from other icings I've made and present in my refrigerator - plain, full fat Greek yogurt.  Add some honey, whip it up, and it was a great substitute.

Crumb Cake #CakeSliceBakers

 My March bake for the Cake Slice Bakers was a crumb cake.  While I've eaten plenty of packaged crumb cakes, I had never made one myself.  I can't imagine why it took me this long.  This recipe is easy to follow and produced a cake that was flavorful and not oversweet. Definitely a cake we'll make again and again. Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through.
