The cakes I baked during the pandemy




I think it has become a trend. Baking during the pandemy, the lack of yeast in many countries, here in Poland too. I use to bake often and for me it wasn't a new thing, although I am aware lots of guys started to bake during their lockdown time because they had the opportunity which normally has not been given to them.

The first cake is called miodownik  that means honey cake. It is a Jewish recipe I found in old Polish calendar. I baked it for the first time and I must admit it was delicious! I added Polish wood honey and also walnuts. I want to bake it again, but now honey is over. Wood honey is very expensive here in Poland.





The second is a lemon cake, from the recipe I found on the sugar packaging few years ago. This is very fat and also delicious cake, I bake it rarely because it has been really fattening. This is also a glaze in the recipe but I skipped it, as I am not a massive lover of a glaze at all.





And here is the third one and it is mini carob bun from my own recipe. I love carob and as a dog owner I do prefer to bake anything from carob than chocolate or cocoa. Dogs cannot eat chocolate but they tolerate carob very good.  If you want me to share some recipe tell me in the comment and I shall publish.




Today we experience the first really warm day this summer. I did some shopping and I washed my hair, also I took my dog for the longer walk. We were in the woods and near the pond. She took a cool dip. Maybe tommorrow I will bake again.

  2. yes, baking is one of excellent ways to avoid boring during pandemic.
    Your cakes look delicious.
    Here, in the USA, we lack of yeast and flour during first month of lock down.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  4. Todos com óptimo aspecto! Também gosto imenso, de bolos de mel, e de limão!...
    Esta semana, estou a acabar um bolo mármore... mas este tem o inconveniente de ter chocolate... mas talvez a Claire possa fazer uma adaptação com alfarroba... como leva duas massas, de cores diferentes, cria um efeito bonito na mesa, quando é servido...
    Que bom, saber que se encontra atarefada, com actividades que aprecia, Claire!...
    Espero que tudo esteja bem, por aí! Beijinhos! Bom fim de semana!
