It's the last Saturday of the month and that means it is time to share my baking for this month. I started doing this earlier this year because otherwise every Weekend Cooking post would be about something sweet, which might be a bit much.
Last month I made a raspberry and chocolate self saucing pudding. This month, I tried a different version of self saucing pudding. This time it was a ginger and apple self saucing pudding and it was oh so good!
I posted about making the Glamington Cake last week!
This carrot, ginger and walnut cake is one of our favourites. It's a Nigella Lawson recipe that I have shared before. It's always a hit when we make it, especialy the cream cheese icing which has a squeeze of fresh ginger juice in it!
The other thing that we cooked this month was some pastries that we had delivered from a local bakery. They were all premade and we just had to bake them but the danishes we had were so delicious that we ended up ordering some freshly made croissants which we are going to have for brunch today!
Have you cooked anything delicious this month?
Weekend Cooking is open to anyone who has any kind of food-related post to share: Book reviews (novel, nonfiction), cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, quotations, photographs, restaurant reviews, travel information, or fun food facts. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. You do not have to post on the weekend.

The apple ginger sauced cake sounds delicious! I have made a gingerbread pear sauce cake and loved it, of course I had to put a bit of vanilla ice cream under the sauce...
ReplyDeleteWe don't do much ice cream in our house. Whipped cream is a different question though Melynda.
DeleteAll your cakes are beautiful and I’d love to sample them all. I’m hoping to make a butter cake with strawberries tomorrow- will share next week if it’s successful!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your cake next week Tina!
DeleteI remember hearing the term "self-saucing" on an episode of Great British Baking Show, but I still don't really know what that means. I shall look it up.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if I can explain it Deb. You make a cake batter and then you pour the sauce ingredients on top. While bakes, the cake rises to the top and the saucy puddingy bit stays underneath.
DeleteI was just contemplating a carrot cake and I love the idea of adding crystallized ginger to it as does your recipe. Thanks for reminding us of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good!
DeleteThat apple ginger self-saucing cake sound perfect for fall. YUMMM. And -- oh gee -- I have carrots in the house and I might even have crystallized ginger. It's Saturday, so it must be baking day! LOL.
ReplyDeleteDid you end up making something BFR?
DeleteThe carrot, ginger, and walnut cake sounds really good! I haven't done much baking this month because it's been so darn hot and humid.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here Judee, so definitely pudding weather!
DeleteBoth ginger cakes appeal to me. I'm off to find the recipes.
ReplyDeleteThere's a link to the carrot cake in the post. The recipe for self saucing pudding can be found here.

What a beautiful selection of cakes. I do believe that your carrot cake with ginger is calling my name! Baking at this point in time is best done early in the morning before things heat up too much.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of our favourites, and I make it quite regularly Claudia.
DeleteYou did a great job with these. They all look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iliana
