Applesauce Cake with Icing Glazing

This week I'd love to share another recipe from Pie in the Sky , a cookbook with variations on recipes for all altitudes. She has traveled across the country, borrowing kitchens from "friends in high places" as she puts it. While reading through her chapter about testing recipes at different elevations, it became very clear that this was a very taxing job. She describes making dozens of batches of bran muffins just to see them cave in every time. It took many tries to get the perfect dome. And that's how all of the recipes went. If you can't get your hands on this cookbook or one like it, there are plenty of online resources to find pre-tested high altitude recipes. I'd recommend starting with blogs like Dough-Eyed and My Kitchen in the Rockies . There are so many great tips for baking at high altitude, so don't let yourself get discouraged! This week's cake is a spicy and sweet dense cake that will get you in the holiday spirit. Don't let the ...

Flag Day Cupcakes

This week we encountered another obscure holiday this week, Flag Day. Seems like it's the prequel to the Fourth of July, but not as hyped. So I looked into it and made some patriotic cupcakes! Flag day was established in 1916 to commemorate the adoption of the American flag that was passed in 1777. This Flag Resolution stated that "the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." Every second Sunday in June we also celebrate the creation of the U.S. Army which happened in 1775. Another event remembered on Flag Day is the Bear Flag Revolt on the Pacific Coast. American settlers and mountain men arrested a Mexican General and declared themselves an independent republic. The bear can still be found on the Californian flag today. Now that we've got a little understanding of Flag Day, let's dig into some yummy cupcakes! This...

No Yeast Bread

If your grocery store is like mine, you may still be struggling to find all of the ingredients needed to do your at home baking. I specifically have not been able to find yeast. Yeast is the magic ingredient that makes bread light and fluffy. It works by consuming the sugars and producing carbon-dioxide and alcohol. I have been wanting to try my hand at bread making, but since there is no yeast to be found, I’ve been looking into no yeast breads. In our Covid-19 world we should not be left without bread! It seems like the solution is to make a denser bread that only needs baking soda to rise. The results are chewy and thick bread that leaves you satisfied. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been rushing to the grocery stores and buying up all of the yeast, flour, and eggs so that their baking pantries will be stocked. If you weren’t one of those panicked people you may be lacking some of those ingredients now. Luckily this is a nation-wide issue so m...
