Peach Skillet Cake

Posted by on

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups soy flour
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 stick of butter, melted + 2 tbsp for the skillet + 2 tbsp for the top
  • scant 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp Torani sweetener (sugar free Brown Sugar Cinnamon)
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peach slices
Optional:
  • 1 tbsp of cinnamon to dust on top
  • 2 tbsp golden or "brown sugar" Lakanto or Swerve to sprinkle on top

Directions

I cooked this in a cast iron skillet, but it could be easily made in a casserole pan or pie plate. It's quite forgiving. I also cooked it on my gas grill instead of the oven. It would certainly be great with other sweeteners!

  1. Preheat the oven to 375. (It's summer in New England - so I preheated my grill!)
  2. Set skillet on medium-low heat and add the 2 tbsp butter.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and ground ginger. Whisk together melted butter, milk, Torani syrup and eggs in another bowl or large measuring cup. Whisk the liquid ingredients into flour mixture.
  4. Add half the batter to the skillet, then 3/4 of the peach slices, then the rest of the batter, and the rest of the peach slices. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and granulated Lakanto, if using. Dot with cubes of butter.
  5. Bake until top is browned and cake is firm - about 45-50 min.

In praise of modern sewing machines

Posted by on
I have seen heaps of praise for older sewing machines. I used to drive an old car, so I can sympathize. When it was running well it was great--good gas mileage, reliable, and really cheap. So if I had an older, workhorse sewing machine, I just know I'd love it too. I would like to heap praise on my new-ish, low end Kenmore sewing machine. But when I was a kid, my Nana had one of those 70s models, a Kenmore. It was lost in the selling or her house. But I can tell you, it never ran well. In fact, I was never allowed to touch it, since the timing seemed to go screwy if you looked at it funny. Maybe all it needed was the right tune up, but I don't quite believe it. Sewing machines, like cars, can just be lemons, after all. The right older car is a marvel, but plenty of them suck, too. When I wanted a sewing machine, I read the message boards and reviews. An older, metal machine from the 70s, seemed to be the consensus. So I looked at secondhand shops and on Craigslist and whatnot.
