GF Sour Cream Coffee Cake

 With all the baked goods recently, I wanted to make something that I could eat. There was also some sour cream that needed to be used. I was very happy how it turned out. I will plan to make it to bring to work for our weekly donut day.

R's Birthday cake 2024

R drew me a picture of a cake he wanted for his birthday. It was quite an elaborate three-layer cake with three different flavors inside.

Lemon on the bottom, chocolate in the middle and red velvet on the top. 

Because I didn't want to do everything at once and at the last minute, I made one layer at a time and froze each one to make assembly much easier 

I used half this recipe for a 9" cake pan for the bottom lemon layer

I used half this recipe for a 9" cake pan for the top red velvet layer

I also used the frosting recipe for the outside of the cake. 

I had some whipped chocolate ganache that also went between the chocolate layer and the red velvet layer.

Chickpea Burgers

I made this burger - https://www.noracooks.com/chickpea-burger/

It was very dry, even after I added a flax egg. I used zucchini flour, maybe that was why?? The flavor was fairly bland, so I will try something else.

I want to try this one next:
