Every year you post, and every year I long for a slice. I love that yours turns out looking just like the original recipe. I remember it looking like a production.
Thank you, GingerFoxx! I so enjoy making this. I really need to make a few times a year, lol.
 
I am making my annual chocolate peanut butter tunnel cake for the February birthdays in my department, including mine, which is next week. It will look like this:

Is it like a tunnel of fudge cake with a peanut butter drizzle, or more pb in the cake?
I've made the tunnel of fudge in Robin Robinsons 1000 Vegan recipes and it was really good

This was a recipe from a woman who won an Earth Balance baking contest or something a few years back. It's got a peanut butter filling inside the chocolate cake and chocolate and peanut butter ganaches on the outside. It's so delicious. My colleagues were quite happy campers. :D

We call them Bundt cakes over here. The traditionnel Kuglehopf cake is made in this unusual type of cake tin. I have 3 of them ; a metal one and two (a standard and small size) in terracotta.

Beautiful bundt cakes

Yes, mine was a Bundt pan as well. I need a heavier one, though. This one is rather lightweight and is getting old and battered. :D
 
I have a plain bundt pan but the bottom pushes out, so it's good.
I have mini pans like the ones shyvas linked, not that fancy, but they look way better than the cakes did! they're Nordic (?) I got from a Goodwill store. I made gingerbreads in them, maybe a plain light colored cake would be better

That PB and chocolate sounds good!
 
I made chocolate chip scones yesterday, and today I am going to make buffalo seitan nuggets and seitan sausages.

Home now, makin' my second to last sautéed veggie sandwich from this batch.... very much looking forward to it, I'm freakin' starving. LOL
 
Gonna make a big batch of roasted red pepper/walnut dip again. :) Already lightly toasted the walnuts, gonna drain & rinse the peppers.... I really wish I had thought to roast some garlic for this. I'm gonna try doin' my last (enormous) clove of elephant garlic in the microwave (on med-low for a couple minutes at a time) and see what happens. I may add a touch of white wine vinegar to the dip this time, just enough to tang it up a touch, nothing too noticeable 'cuz the last (1st) batch was damn tasty! :yes:


Later on I'm gonna be prepping, chopping, slicing, and sautéing all my sammich veggies.... :D

Yet another way to make seitan! I'm pretty much following the recipe, more spices in the mix, but I'm doing it in the oven in the braising liquid. I just rinsed out the sauce jar and added liquid smoke and Braggs. No garlic though :(. I refuse to buy garlic grown in China and that's what Aldi has!
I should try and grow my own-last time it didn't grow.
Made a killer minestrone yesterday-no pasta, so maybe not? o_O

Well that's quite a different kind of seitan! I guess it's like salisury steak? You can taste the tomato, and it's very very tender. Shame I didn't have fresh garlic. I put potatoes and baby carrots to cook with it so it very much came out like a roast
 
I'm just not feelin' it... I'm cutting this short. I've got the red onion & red pepper sautéed, the mushrooms are washed & I just sliced enough for ONE sandwich tonight... I'm tossing the rest in a paper bag & they're goin' back in the fridge until tomorrow. Now I just need snip some damn spinach & cut up some damn tomato.

Maybe I won't even bother with those.... just slap some of my homemade dip on a sandwich thin, pile on the sautéed sh*t with some Go Veggie shreds, and call it good. :|

I just made a bean dip with the rest of the black and kidney I made yesterday. I put in too much liquid smoke-I won't use that anymore. Nooch, garlic, smoked paprika, sriracha and salt is enough
 
YOOUU know what I'm makin'... :p Yeah, that's right... I'm home earlier than expected (awesome!), I'm jammin' to some jazz in the kitchen, I've got my container o' veggies (after slicing up & adding the mushrooms earlier today... left a few small ones in case I want to make pasta sauce), and all the fixins.... gonna do the sammich up right tonight! :cool:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! And I guess this might count here, too.... Nothing's happening with the half-tater I planted here, no sproutin', no nothin'.... so I'm taking it out & shoving an already-sprouting onion (of Jerry's) right in the dirt. We'll see what happens.... ;)

A big pot of freshly-ground dark roast coffee. Mmm, smells so good! :) Sadly, though, we only have one #6 Melitta filter left after this... and the stores around here only carry #2s & #4s. :pout: Gotta order 'em.

Heatin' up a portion of the sautéed veggies (adding diced tomato & baby spinach shortly), gonna throw the whole grain sandwich thin in the oven (on low, just to "toughen" it up a bit), then spread with my homemade dip & top with nooch & Go Veggie shreds.... I never get tired of this mix of veggies, on a bun, on bread, on a Foldit, in a wrap... so damn tasty & healthy!

I have a hankerin' for Asian food lately... my next new (for me) culinary adventure shall include making veggie lo mein, veggie spring rolls, stir-fry, fried rice, OMG, I want all that sh*t! :lick: I'm gonna hafta put sesame oil in/on my meal tonight. LOL :p

Currently thawing the only container of Cook-Fest soup that I saved.... there's really nothing to make, slim pickins in the kitchen... but I'm hungry.


Also, I think I finally may have "fixed" the Jack Skellington cap that Jer got me for my b-day.... cut & tore (with great difficulty) out the super-tough backing on the two front panels.... the brim is curling (again) in a mug.... I hope all of this will make it sit on my skull like a normal-looking ball cap.
 
I am making chocolate cupcakes to bring to work tomorrow. I have not decided what flavor of frosting I will top them with. Options include chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, mocha/coffee or orange. Decisions, decisions.
