It's that time of year again everyone!

@ottaross @skinnylatte Thank you for the link.
… I added the RSS feed to my recipe manger (Mela)

@ottaross I think the prep time of 5 minutes greatly overestimates my skills

@ottaross I like the idea of making it quarterly seasonal. You might even throw a tart in occasionally, depending on, as you say, general interest. There are such wide regional differences.

My mom has a much better old-fashioned oven than I do, so I would like to try some things over there. I think this particular cake might be difficult for me, being gluten-free, though I have made sachertorte successfully, which is somewhat similar, though I had to make them individually and added ganache.

Anyway, I wish you much success!

@chiasm @ottaross marmalade is orange in the UK.

ottaross@mastodon.social

@LibraryAndTea @chiasm actually I buy a UK brand (Robertson's) of ginger marmalade that is my favourite. I think they also make a grapefruit version.

libraryandtea@ottawa.place

@ottaross @chiasm yes, there are varieties, but they will be referred to in a recipe as “flavour” marmalade. If it just says marmalade in a uk recipe, uk people will think orange. Just like it marmalade is offered at the breakfast table, it will be orange unless defined.

@kimlockhartga yes, lots of great ideas swimming around.

The particular recipe I shared for this first event is *almost* gluten free! Could probably swap in an alternative flour (buckwheat?) pretty easily to join the almond flour. But there are many other variants too.

@Katylou lol - I particularly like the 'stick it in the freezer and wait' parts, where I can refill my tea and have a seat.

In case you didn't click through on the link to the Guardian recipe, here's what the ingredients look like.

It's a UK recipe so US based bakers can take a moment to convert weights with your favourite search site (eg duckDuckGo).

For caster sugar just use regular granulated white sugar. Rather than $11 for vanilla pods today I decided I'll just use vanilla extract.

I'm using apricot jam instead of marmalade.

@ottaross This is right up my alley.

@ottaross fun! Will join in. Recipe looks good, will probably make as is!

@ottaross I’m tempted to attempt this. Had planned a different bake to take to a neighbour tomorrow morning but you’re slowly convincing me to change my plan.
