\n There were three challenges to choose from this week. \u00a0I choose the Drizzle Cake. \u00a0I think one of the most interesting parts about the show is the vocabulary for baked goods and ingredients. I could guess what a drizzle cake is, but I did an internet search and found a recipe I thought looked great. \u00a0It was written by Paul Hollywood, one of the show’s judges, so how could I go wrong?The GWBC asks that we put a Wisconsin spin on our recipe. \u00a0Well…. I followed the recipe, and sort of forgot the Wisconsin spin. \u00a0I can tell you that Castor sugar, which is very fine granulated sugar, isn’t readily available in our local supermarkets. \u00a0So, my spin is finding a substitution. \u00a0I used granulated sugar and it was just fine. \u00a0Next week I’ll try to get a bit more creative and Wisconsin-yThe other substitution I made was the self-rising flour. \u00a0I probably could have searched it out at the store, but I made my own. \u00a0Self Rising FlourI made the cake in a loaf pan rather than a square pan. \u00a0Either is fine. \u00a0The cake was very fragrant and rose beautifully in the pan. \u00a0I had lined the pan with parchent paper so I was able to lift out the cake after I soaked it with the sugar\/lemon juice mixture. \u00a0Once cool, I drizzled the thick white icing over the top. \u00a0Now for a taste. \u00a0Silence!It was one of the best tasting desserts I’ve made. \u00a0The texture was tender, the lemon scent and taste were over the top, but not sour. \u00a0The powdered sugar icing took it over the top. \u00a0I brought it over to the house and gave Gary and my dad a taste. \u00a0Then I asked Gary to take it away as soon as possible and find a neighbor, or stranger for that matter, who would enjoy it. \u00a0Off he went.He had just pulled away and passed a van coming up the road. It was a family here for the trampoline tournament in Madison who are staying on a dairy farm near LaValle. They were looking for bakery items, and had found me doing a Google search. \u00a0I can’t make this stuff up! I told them they had just missed the GBBS test recipe, and I had nothing to offer or sell them. \u00a0Off they went in search of something sweet. I did recommend Babcock Hall in Madison for ice cream after they compete tomorrow. \u00a0Have fun watching this season’s shows. \u00a0I’ll be back later this week with next week’s challenge. Give this one a try, and let me know how you liked it in comments. \u00a0If you tried a different recipe, tell us about it.Here’s a link to Paul’s Recipehttps:\/\/www.paulhollywood.com\/post\/lemon-drizzle-slices\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
