    Moist Chocolate Cake- My favorite

    Lady Dee, I just saw your post. The cake will stay very moist. I refrigerate what is left over and press a sheet of plastic wrap to the cut sides of the cake. Enjoy!

    Do Crock Pots Make Superior Soups?

    Love split pea soup! Thanks MIcook, with those vacum packs of diced ham at the supper market that would make this soup supper easy :D I need to try it! I do prefer cooking a big pot of soup on the stove on a chilly winter weekend. I reserve the crockpot for days I go to work.

    Quest for the Perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

    Babba, I am also looking for a good soft oatmeal raisin, It seems that the oatmeal makes a soft cookie hard in a short time. I always go back to my soft raisin cookie recipe that I posted before, boiling the raisins seems to be the key in that recipe.

    Irish Soda Bread. You have to taste this one

    Hi. MIcook, Hope your daughter likes the bread. I like to mound the dough on a big cookie sheet, I think it looks more authentic that way :lol: I can just picture the green hill sides with white sheep grazing, as I look out the window as the bread cools. My gosh, this winter is really...

    Irish Soda Bread. You have to taste this one

    Carivor, Hi! I have not noticed the cracking in my quick breads since I have my new oven which is electric, My old oven was gas and the temp was off by about 25 to 30 degrees and very hard to adjust even with an oven thermometer. So Coquille probably has the right idea about the high temp. I...

    Why no yeast aroma or flavor in bread?

    Oldcoot, Congrats on an other great looking loaf! :D I started looking in my bread books regarding yeast, the only thing I could find was that everything should be warm even the eggs, flour ect. They even said to warm the bowl. Something to do with how yeast is produced now to give it a longer...

    Why no yeast aroma or flavor in bread?

    I just thought of something, do you use Dry or cake yeast. Cake yeast may have more of the aroma but you need to get it fresher, like BubbaG mentioned, check the date. I use dry yeast in the jar, just because it is always available when I get the urge to bake.

    Why no yeast aroma or flavor in bread?

    Oldcoot, I know what you are talking about, but don't know the answer. Funny I do remember smelling that aroma just last week but can't remember if it was the bread I baked, or a loaf I picked up at the store. :roll: This getting old is for the birds. Oh well, I guess I need to make that...
