Amish Friendship Bread Hummingbird Cake
We love adapting old favorites with one cup of Amish Friendship Bread Starter, and this Amish Friendship Bread Hummingbird Cake recipe is no exception. Baking with a starter is a lovely addition to most cake recipes because the result is often a dense, moist crumb. Not familiar with the hummingbird cakes? It was first noticed when Mrs. L.H. Wiggins sent her recipe to Southern Living in 1978. It is said to have originated in Jamaica where it was said to be "so sweet it attracted hummingbirds." … [Read more...]

Curious to learn … [Read more...]

It was either this or a Lady Earl Grey variation (which has less bergamot oil plus lemon peel and orange peel), but I really wanted the bergamot flavor. So much that I bought the Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey tea just to make sure. It. Was. Amazing. This is now my favorite variation of the year, usurping the summery Strawberry Limeade Amish … [Read more...]

Red Velvet Amish Friendship Bread
Growing up, I spent a few years of my childhood in the south--Texas to be exact. My palate is definitely influenced by that time in my life. I have a penchant for things that are fried and still have a craving for biscuits and gravy. But the one thing I never seemed to get was red velvet cake. It just didn't do anything for me, and I figured if I was going to have chocolate, I wanted it to look like chocolate. Plus we all remember the armadillo groom's cake from Steel Magnolias. Yeah, that … [Read more...]
