Well we have had some cooler weather thankfully! I am feeling much much better. But in the mean time I was thrilled to cook dinner last night. We had pork tenderloin cooked in a white wine and apple pie spice. Tender was the correct name for sure. Along with some home fries and mint creamed peas. Nice dinner. But better yet was dessert.
I chopped up two fresh pineapples yesterday. I sent the peels over to Other Mom for Pecky the chicken to eat. She is kind enough to trade us eggs for Pecky food. I also used the core of the pineapple to flavor my lemonade too. Just chopped it up and dropped it in the pitcher. Sweet! Then I made a homemade pineapple upside down cake. Oh it was so moist and yummy with the fresh pineapple. It did crumble into a mess when I flipped it from the baking pan. But oh, it sure did eat good.
If you want I will share my cake recipe. This is just my plain ol cake.....that of course you can tweak into what ever cake you wish to make.
My Every Day Cake
1/2 C Butter
1 3/4 C Sugar
Cream together
Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time.
Add 2 1/4 C Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 C Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix Well. You can the pour and bake or refrigerate. This will keep for several days. If I want chocolate cake then I just add cocoa. Almond.....flavorings.....mint chocolate chip....yes add that in....you choose what flavor you want. Not hard to do. Just play with it. I replaced the milk with cooled strong coffee and added dark cocoa for a wonderful mocha cake. What flavor can you dream up? Replace milk with your favorite liquid coffee creamer. Change out the extract. Add in fruit or nuts.
Yummmmmmm!
