Here’s a short list of inspirations for my November 2022 recipe column. This month it’s a mocha and chocolate date bundt cake or, as someone said, a cake that resembles a giant doughnut.
Fabulous cake Nic, I will be baking this very soon.
We didn’t have catalogues at home when I was a child, so I used to pour over the Littlewood’s catalogue at a friends house....she was one of six children so everything was there!
We had the Littlewoods catalogue - and Freemans! My mother burned through money. I was more of a looker and listmaker. I didn't really need the things, I just liked dreaming.
I've made this cake so many times and it's incredibly reliable. Choose dark or milk chocolate, it's good with either.
I’m drooling over the King Arthur catalogue, never even knew it existed. Too bad I live in Spain- they probably don’t ship here and even if they did it would be subject to tariffs and wildly expensive. Nice recipes to try though! Thanks!
It's such a joy. Pure happiness but yes, the postage would be astronomical. The King Arthur site is really good for baking inspiration even if I can't get hold of some of their products. Andrew Janjigian of Worldloaf has written and tested for King Arthur so I highly recommend his Substack if you enjoy baking. https://newsletter.wordloaf.org/
You've taken me down the rabbit hole again. I've had so much enjoyment following your links and thanks so much for the introduction to Drew Magary. I've been reading aloud parts of his take-down of the Williams Sonoma catalgue amid howls of laughter. Also - a bloody lovely cake, Nic. Thanks. xxx
I will of course make both Nic!
Looking was my modus operandi too.
I recall when our youngest daughter was asked what she wished for at Christmas when she was six.
Her reply was “I don’t know until I have looked through the Argos catalogue’!
Her older two sisters were much more conservative! 🤣😍
