I made a raspberry chocolate for the park meeting today. I used fresh raspberries and made my own reduction to add to the middle layer with the carob icing



I see the plate is still dirty, amazing what you see in a picture lol.

Thanks!

• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoon teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I added some butter extract too)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (I take out 2tbsp)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 heaping tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoon hot water
• 1 or 2 tablespoons of soy milk
• 1 cup add ins (cranberries, white chocolate)

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the first three ingredients in a bowl, set aside.
2. Combine sugars, vanilla, and olive oil. Add flax mixture and cream together for about 3 minutes on medium.
3. Slowly beat in the dry mixture, (add in a tablespoon of milk at a time if it's a little dry- dough should be sticky)
4. Incorporate mix in's, let rest for 10 minutes, covered in plastic wrap.
5. Roll the dough into ping pong ball sized balls, flatted lightly.
6. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 10-11 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
7. Let cool on tray for 2 minutes before removing them onto a rack to cool completely...if you can wait that long!

^ Thanks, Janetta. It's saved to my recipe file. I'm not a fan of white chocolate so will replace with either chocolate chips or nuts

I don't have butter extract though (first time I've heard of it). Can I simply omit or do you suggest something else?

On Saturday I used a chocolate cake mix. I baked cupcakes and a round cake. The cupcakes were piped with butter ream icing and went to my husband's work on Monday to be shared. I tried anew peanut butter icing recipe. It tasted really good, but was a little strong for the type of cake that I baked, so I only used a thin layer of it. The cake went over to a friend's house when we were visiting on Sunday.

Today I'm going to make some ciabatta buns. I find they freeze really well so I can make a few dozen and just pull them out of the freezer and reheat as I need them. I really like to add fresh rosemary and blue cheese chunks to it sometimes, it's a nice flavour combo, so I think I'll make about a dozen plain and the rest jazzed up.

Butter extract is totally optional!
Micheal's sells it for about $2.50 regular price. I used a 50% off coupon making it $1.25-ish
Any other extract or just vanilla works fabulous too!

[Silk]

^ I didn't know Michael's sells extract - good to know! Thanks again, Janetta!

I really enjoy baking, so last night I spent an hour making a list of deserts in my phone. I am hoping to make more goodies. I always enjoy feeding them to others. I have a sweet tooth, but enjoying baking more than eating he items that I bake.
