Spring-a-ling
As much as I miss my kitchenaid mixer, I think I have made some of my most palatable baked goods here, with our cheap $15 mixer, home brand ingredients and sorry excuse for a oven. I think this can be attributed, in part, to the temporary emancipation from my health conscious mother, who would not fail to express her displeasure every time I decided to bake in her kitchen. Ah! Such freedom!
The most recent bake up was this absolutely gorgeous summery buttery lemon and poppy seed loaf cake. I polished off half a loaf in 3 days, shared some with the housemates and dug deep for some generosity to give some away :p
Try it, this recipe is a keeper.
