Wine cake!

So many many years ago my family has been making this cake. It's so good and so easy! It came from this cookbook!

I'm sure there is other great recipes in here but the wine cake is the only one we ever used! My grandmother always changed up her recipes, she loved to cook and bake. She was very good at it. She could go into a restaurant and figure out what they put in their food, go home, and recreate it. So today I mixed it up a bit.

1 yellow cake mix

1 small pkg of banana pudding

3/4 cup of cream sherry

3/4 cup of vegetable oil

4 eggs

Nutmeg to your liking

Mix it all up and pour it into a loaf pan @ 350 oven for about 40 minutes.  

When it's finished let rest in pan for 5 minutes and turn it out on a cooling rack  once it cools sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yum!

The original recipe uses California sherry, vanilla pudding, and normally I make it in a tube pan.

Cooking class

Yesterday I took a cooking class with my friend Ruthie! It was so much fun!  It was a flat bread class, we made different flat bread  from all over the world. My favorite one was knackbrod, see recipe below!

This bread is almost like a cracker, it had a very distinct taste. I didn't think I was going to like it at all. It was delicious!  The chef said it would last a very long time, and yes I would make it again.

The other night I made these sandwiches!  I call them a chicken ranch sandwich!

I used this recipe:

Flat bread

1tsp of yeast
1tsp salt
2tbls sugar
1 cup warmzwater
21/2 cup flour
Mix kneed
Let rise in bowl with olive oil
Make 8 balls let rise for 1/2 hour on parchment
Cook in hot skillet

When u flip brush with melted butter

From the class I took yesterday the chef said to mix all dry ingredients then add the wet. Also let your dough be a little sticky, it will make a softer bread. My family loves these. Sorry my picture is not very good, I will try to take better pictures. So all I did was make the bread, cook my chicken, cut cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. This would also be greek as a Greek gyro sandwich with tzatziki sauce!

Here is a picture of my friend Ruthie and I at our class yesterday!
