Cool my desire.
Damn, but I've missed baking - it just wasn't practical in the Y, and I haven't managed to get around to picking up all the essential basics needed. But this week I made an effort, added a few unusual items to my shopping list, and got my feet wet with something nice and simple Spiced applesauce cake was a fine return to form, and maybe I had a bit more of it than I rightly should have, and I can't quite bring myself to mind.
Mixing the sugar and butter was a challenge itself since I didn't soften the butter. So I just reached in there and worked it around between my fingers, and this very visceral feeling of the textures shifting as I worked it is something I've really missed. I didn't make the frosting - there's only so much counter space to work with - and played around with the spices since I had allspice but no ginger, and maybe I could've cut down some applesauce. It's still fantastic, and I'll have to pick something else to make next.
My guess is it's going to be bread.
