Made this amazing carrot sourdough cake last week Made this amazing carrot sourdough cake last week from @kingarthurbaking It was super delicious, stayed moist even after being in the fridge for a few days and you couldn't taste the sourdough at all! 🤤 If you are looking for something new to try with your sourdough starter, I highly recommend this! I'm making it again this weekend! It's the perfect thing for autumn baking 🍂🍁 And side note for anyone wondering, my sourdough starter is doing great at four years old 😁 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #carrot #carrotcake #cake #sheetcake #baking #autumn #kingarthurflour #kingarthurbaking #delish
This summer I went on a working vacation up to Mic This summer I went on a working vacation up to Michigan with my brothers. After the trip, before we went home, we had a chance to enjoy the quaint little downtown of the town we were staying near. We managed to wander into an amazing three-story antique shop and spent two hours walking around and looking at everything! It was like waking back in time 😁 Of course, I had to share some photos of all the historic kitchen tools, cookbooks and old food packaging that we found! It was amazing to see the old designs of the kitchenware and the name brands that no longer exist! #vacation #summer #summertime #michigan #history #antique #antiquestore #antiquecookbook #cookbook #kitchenware #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
It's been a long, wonderful summer! 🌞 I manage It's been a long, wonderful summer! 🌞 I managed to post a little bit on here now and again, but the break was much needed and very satisfying! I'm back now though and tomorrow the first part of my fall content begins! We are taking it back to school again this year, but the difference is this month's food history topic is all about cooking schools! It was a fun food history topic to research 😊 Keep a look out for the first post tomorrow! #summer #summerbreak #school #backtoschool #cooking #cookingschool #cookingschools #foodhistory #culinaryhistory #fall

My dad's birthday was last week and he requested h My dad's birthday was last week and he requested his favorite cake - red velvet! I don't often make it because of all the red dye, but since this was a special number birthday for him, I made it 😁 🎂 I love making homemade cakes! It takes longer then just stirring up a cake mix, but the flavor is 💯 percent better. Especially if you're making your own cream cheese frosting! So, so good! Do you know why this cake is known as a red "velvet" cake? The cake was introduced during the Depression. The Adams red food coloring company promised that this new cake recipe that they had created to sell their red food dye, would have a fine crumb texture like velvet! What's your favorite cake to make? #cake #homemadecake #homemade #redvelvet #velvet #redvelvetcake #birthday #retro #vintage #foodhistory #culinaryhistory
