Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Sweet Potato Pound Cake

I baked sweet potatoes a few days ago and we enjoyed them hot from the oven with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. But what to do with the remaining sweet potatoes? A quick search of my most favorite cake cookbook, Southern Cakes, by Nancie McDermott provided the perfect recipe.  No glaze needed for this moist, flavorful Southern delicacy! 3 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour 2 t. baking powder 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 t. ground nutmeg 1/2 t. salt 1/2 cup milk 1 t. vanilla extract 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup light brown sugar 4...

Easy Sourdough Recipe

Easy Sourdough Recipe

Recipes with a big time commitment, lots of ingredients, and many steps can intimidate. This recipe is the easiest I’ve tried. Since I started this blog, a few folks have said that the recipes seem overwhelming, so I decided to try a simple bread with just two flours–bread flour and dark rye–and a short prep time.
