Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
This past thanksgiving among the turkey, sweet potato soufflé, gravy, stuffing and all the other stuff that was on the table I manage to serve a vegetarian dish for some of my guest.
Now a day, there should not be an entertainment menu without a vegetarian dish. I would not even call this a vegetarian dish, but an awesome wild rice salad with some pretty fall ingredients in the mix.
If you have read my writings long enough, you know my love affair with pound cakes. Out of all the cakes – and believe me, I had my share of different types of cakes in my lifetime – the simple pound cakes grabs me every single time. Hands down.
My wedding cake was a pound cake. Which was soaked in rum and filled… oh, wait were was I.. oh, yeah – sorry.
But, like any baker (or cook) knows, we are always (and I truly mean ALWAYS) looking for the next best recipe of our favorite thing.
What can I say… we are a crazy bunch.
I think, I have found something better than my favorite pound cake.
I present to you the Ricotta Cake
It’s sweet, but not too sweet, hints of vanilla flavor all over it, moist (ohhhh soooo very moist), easy to make, less than 15 minutes putting it together and 45 minutes baking time. It’s good warm, cold and every temperature in between. Yummy with all sorts of toppings - fruits, cream, ice cream and whatever you may think of.
But alone, it’s simply, a little bite of heaven.
To write that I been absent from Sweetbites is an understatement… I just looked back and realized that my last post on the blog was back at the beginning of August.
YIKES! AUGUST!
That was FOUR MONTHS AGO. Yes, I’m shouting, because mentally I’m kicking myself for not realizing this sooner.
This goes to show you the mental state that I have been of late.
The last months, I been overwhelmed with LIFE.
Life, has been giving me the beat down and for a minute there I thought it had won.
