Butterscotch Pecan Mini Loaves #TheCakeSliceBakers

By


Here we are the August 2021 edition of the Cake Slice Bakers. For 2021; we are baking from Little Everyday Cakes: 50+ Perfectly Proportioned Confections to Enjoy Any Day of the Week by Candace Floyd.* I can't believe that we're already halfway through the year. In many ways 2020 dragged on as the shelter-in-place orders continued month after month; on the other hand, it was a completely blur because there weren't milestones to mark the passage of time.

In this group, we are given a selection of three cake recipes. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes!



Follow our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pages where you can find all of our cakes, as well as inspiration for many other cakes. You can also click on the links below to take you to each of our cakes. If you have a blog and are interested in joining The Cake Slice Bakers and baking along with us, please send an email to thecakeslicebakers at gmail dot com for more details.

The Cake Slice Bakers also have a new Facebook group called The Cake Slice Bakers and Friends. This group is perfect for those who do not have a blog but want to join in the fun and bake through this book. Our choices for August 2021 were ~

Butterscotch Pecan Mini Loaves
very slightly adapted from Floyd's recipe

I thought that I didn't have photos of the final loaves, but I just found them. So I am updating this post and sharing these gorgeous mini loaves that were such a hit with my family.

Ingredients makes 4 mini loaves or 1 regular loaf

  • 2/3 cup butter (I used salted, so skipped the added salt)
  • 3/4 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup yogurt (whole milk preferred)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1-3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Also needed: loaf pan or mini loaves; butter for greasing the pan


Procedure

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter your pans and set aside. Melt the butter over low heat and let cool slightly.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and yogurt. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the melted, but slightly cooled, butter. Fold in the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. Then fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.

Divide batter between the buttered hollows and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes for the mini loaves and 45 to 50 minutes for a regular loaf.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting. Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

    I hate when life gets busy and you lose track of where you are in the blogging process and eat all the evidence LOL.

    I love your mini loaf pan! I also like making mini loafs to give away. Nice to know this recipe will work for that.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
