Cooking & Recipes

[Random Encounter]

Anyone else here like to cook? I like to fuck around and find out in the kitchen, and the last few months I have been trying to improve my baking game. I've had some mixed luck getting my sourdough starter to produce a consistently good loaf of bread, but it does make the best pancakes I've ever had. I'll start with the recipe I use, courtesy of King Arthur.

I had to think hard about what my first recipe I should post here would be I think what I selected is appropriate. This is my mom's special recipe for sour cream coffee cake! When she was sick, she couldn't sleep, so Dad and I would wake up to find she had been up all night baking cakes for the people that were helping us. If that isn't a Cindra thing, I don't know what is. 💗
Anyway, this cake is delicious and moist, and I'd love for you to try it and let me know what you think!

A few of my recipes I am famous for and I won't give out, like my apple pie and my Sunday red sauce, but I have a few more I will probably share

Another recipe I've made many times, and love. In fact, it's what I'm making for dinner tonight!
