Week 5 - Applesauce Cake on a Monkey Plate
I missed about three weeks of reporting on new recipes, but I made up for it a little bit by trying two new recipes this week - a cabbage curry with paneer and an applesauce cake.
The curry was good, but frankly cabbage curry is not tremendously photogenic, so I decided to shoot the applesauce cake.
I watch America's Test Kitchen on PBS each week, but I hadn't ever tried one of their recipes - they seem awfully fussy. This one looked so good though that I decided to try it out.
Verdict - Yes, the recipe IS very fussy. The cake is really, REALLY moist though - the best texture I've ever gotten from a cake. I ground my own cloves and nutmeg, which made the spice flavor a little more intense than I think it was supposed to be and the apple was a little more of a background flavor.
Will I make this again? Absolutely!
