2021 Edition - What are you baking?

[msmofet]

I was craving coconut cake, but it's not Rob's thing, so I made half a coconut cake and frosted the other half with chocolate.

That is a wonderful compromise! What flavor is the cake? Is it just different frosting on each cake? Would love to see cut slices of each.
I would enjoy both cakes. I love chocolate and coconut.


Do you have a recipe for coconut cake?

My sourdough starter is finally mature, so I made a loaf of sourdough bread.

Gads, can't make up my mind on cake or bread, guess I'll just crave both.

Yummy looking cakes, bakechef!

Great sour dough, I can almost taste it, pptop!

They are both the same cake flavor, just different icing. The cake is a hot milk sponge cake with an American style buttercream. I used half of the Vanilla icing for the coconut cake and added dutch process cocoa for the chocolate.

I usually use coconut cream in the cake and maybe some coco lopez between the layers but I didn't have either on hand so I just did the basics.

Yesterday I awoke a year long sourdough starter lurking in the frig. Wasn't sure how to handle it, rested it overnight and baked a loaf of whole wheat sourdough in the bread machine.

So far, Strawberry Lemon Tarts, and a Leek Bacon Gruyère Tart.

Bread (I added wheat germ to the flour) smells so good. Can't wait to cut it.

Thank you. I haven't posted it yet. I'll need to work it up. I use my bread machine to make the dough.
