I have some thinky work to do this afternoon, which is why I've given myself permission to bake a cake.

It's time away from the computer, but not time away from my brain. πŸ™ƒ

Arequipe (dulce de leche) and apple bundt cake, here I come!




Progress photos. πŸ™‚ It baked perfectly at 50 minutes (30 min open, 20 min covered with foil), and... in 10 minutes I'll see how good a job I did with flouring the bundt pan and keeping the apple filling from the edges. 🀞🏻

πŸ™ƒ The Canadian urge to find something to garnish this is strong, but in Colombia a *lot* of cakes are simply two plain layers of yellow or chocolate with a smear of arequipe (dulce de leche) between them, and/or maybe a dusting of powdered sugar. So the fact that mine is loaded with apples with a dulce de leche drizzle is fine. No garnish needed. *Maybe* a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but we'll see.

...Kinda looks like a giant maple doughnut mated with a cruller, though, eh? πŸ˜…

@MLClark

I suddenly noticed I’m famished. 🍎

@MLClark It looks like it will be absolutely delicious!

@stueytheround

Thanks, Stuey! From your words to others' lips. 🀞🏻 Did you get any carolling in this season?

@MLClark No but I have caroling planned for the weekend πŸ˜πŸŽ„

@MLClark oh my goodness. This looks so yummy!! 🀀 πŸ˜‹

@Valkyrie_D

Fingers crossed! Thanks for your positivity! πŸ€—

@MLClark Ooooo… yum!πŸ˜‹ I bet it smells heavenly, too! I’ve got the savoury to match it cooking here; herb-crusted beef roast with peppers & carrots in smoked paprika gravy.

@JGSchaeffer

Oh, that is exquisitely cooked, and the assembly with the vegetables is even better! Enjoy, you brilliant chef you! πŸ€—

@MLClark You, too!❀️ if we were closer geographically, we would have the main dish and dessert to share!❀️
