| Butter, browned |
The night I brought the galley home, K made the Plain and Simple Almond Cake. Two days later, she made the Apple Weekend Cake. Suffice it to say, we are very much fans of the Simple Cakes chapter of Baking Chez Moi.
When the Brown Butter and Vanilla Weekend Cake was selected for Tuesday's with Dorie, I was pleased. The recipe is simple, but browning butter is something we can all use some more practice at. Unlike the last project, we stayed fairly true to the recipe, though we substituted rye for rum.
The verdict: No surprise that we liked this one. Straight out of the oven it was nice, but as promised was much better the next morning. I've been breaking off pieces for the last few days and look forward to trying it toasted, as suggested.
Your cake looks lovely! I used to have a blue glass loaf pan, but I haven't seen it in years. This was a nice simple cake and I look forward to making more of them.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of breaking off pieces for days! Nice to see the brown butter process. I always have to use a pan with a light colored bottom so I can tell when I'm there...otherwise it's living on the edge. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely cake! Looks so pretty! It was much better the next day…a winner in my house!
ReplyDeleteSo simple and lovely! I love that top photo---what a perfect loaf!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of that chapter as well and was quite happy to make this cake. Yours looks perfect...glad it was a hit.
ReplyDeleteI am making another batch right now so that I can test the next day theory (we had ours for company, so no leftovers...).
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
You cake turned out beautifully! I am impressed that you were able to keep it around for a few days. Not happening in this house... the requests for more are all ready in. I'm looking forward to trying out some more of the Simple Cakes.

ReplyDeleteYour cake turned out lovely. I wish I had the chance to try it toasted.
ReplyDeleteThe simple cakes section is a bit too tempting, I think - easy means often!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks great. And how on earth did you find the willpower not to eat it all right away?
