A couple of old favourites revisited.

And an individual strawberry and vanilla cheesecake...

It's a cool and rainy day in Tucson (we went from 103 yesterday to 70 today).  

 

Good baking day!

 

Blueberry sour cream pie.

@ElsieD , @curls Yes that’s correct , they are now King Arthur Baking.

 

Could you please point to the exact recipe? I get two pages of results from my search but none seems to be the right recipe.

@TdeV
An individual plated dessert, this is made from a hot milk sponge cake recipe, (KAB) the center of the cake is recessed and filled with raspberry compote, fresh raspberries, apricot and sour cream.  The exterior of the cake was brushed with apricot jam and dusted with confectionery sugar.

*The hot milk sponge cake on the King Arthur Baking site is the Chef Zeb method.  The only difference is that he adds the oil separately from the heated milk/butter, otherwise the recipes the same.  I made 1/4 of the recipe and made 4-5 of the cakelets.  It’s the same recipe I had posted in an other presentation upthread on June 24.

Raspberry apricot cakelets with almond flour, a half recipe of “Little Summer Fruitcakes” by Yossy Arefi. Delicious little cakes that were as good on day two as they were on day one.

Claire Ptak's banana buttermilk bread...

 

 

 

The result of an unfortunate confluence of boredom and gifted bananas, this cake did nothing to change my opinion that banana bread is a waste of a good banana. (Recipe here if you couldn't disagree more.)

It seems rather unfair to condemn all banana bread because of because of a rather unfortunate choice of recipe. I do agree that this recipe looks pretty insipid. One teaspoon of rum indeed. How much flavor can that contribute. I developed a recipe about 30 years ago that is both flavorful and moist. I've shared it many times and everyone seems to love it.

@Tropicalsenior, I don't seem to have your banana  bread recipe. Provide me with a link, please?

I checked through my posts and apparently I haven't put it in eGullet recipes. I'm working right now to clean and clarify the recipe. Probably tonight or tomorrow I will post it and post a link.

The link does not give the recipe, unless I'm missing something.

A small peach tart with toasted slivered almonds, we had it with peach gelato.
