The 20 best easy cake recipes - The Guardian Posted: 24 May 2021 12:01 AM PDT I have a secret confession to make. I have (whisper it) yet to bake a cake. But now I have no excuse. Presenting 20 sublime, simple recipes to make you and me into a Prue or Paul. We have the buttercream of the cake-baking world: Jeremy Lee, Yotam Ottolenghi, Benjamina Ebuehi. There's Meera Sodha's salted miso brownies, Nigella Lawson's birthday custard sponge, Anna Jones's cardamom and carrot cake. There are cupcakes, sheet bakes, strawberry and cream cakes. And they are all, honestly, easy. I might have to buy an apron. It's nearly time for tea. Ready. Steady. Bake! These citrussy little bakes are perfect for any special occasion.  Zesty and wonderfully simple to create – try serving it as a pud with rhubarb and custard.  Syrup-sweet and golden little cakes, with citrus overtones, to cheer any afternoon tea break.  A fresh and summery bake, inspired by the aromatic flavours of Indian sweets.  This simplest of traybakes, packing a coconut punch, really delivers on the comfort-food front.  The ricotta gives this hassle-free bake a moist, creamy depth, complemented by mood-lifting lemon.  A fudgy, sweet and salty showstopper to add the wow factor to any party table.  A versatile recipe that makes a moist teatime loaf but works equally well as a mini cake.  A cake full of the flavours of a summer afternoon tea, rounded off by a rich, almondy kick.  Little crowdpleasers, easily adapted to suit all diets, these are super-moist and packed with goodness.  Richly infused with the author's childhood memories, this simple and fruity pound cake is an everyday treat.  A caffeine-rich loaf, simply embellished with icing and a scattering of walnuts – just add a cup of tea.  No need to stress over decorating this bake – let a bundt tin do the work. Just add a dollop of boozy cream before eating.  The decorating is as easy as the baking in this custard-flavoured celebration cake.  This cake, packing a punch with ground hazelnuts, works warm or cool – and it's best eaten within a day.  The miso gives this dense, fudgy and chocolately traybake classic its extra oomph.  A blast from the past for those who remember the 70s – and a fruity, spongey treat for newcomers to the bake.  Another retro traybake, its jam liberally dusted with coconut and served from the tin, makes an ideal ending to a picnic.  Chocolate cake is always a great pick-me-up – and one with stout as a main ingredient is even better.  Warm and welcoming, this sticky, spicy treat works will cheer any cold walker after a long stretch outside.   |

How To Enter The Civil Beat Recipe Challenge - Honolulu Civil Beat Posted: 23 May 2021 03:01 AM PDT We are now accepting submissions for the first ever Civil Beat Recipe Challenge.
We're starting with kalo, so get those recipes and photos in right away, but feel free to send in recipes for the other four ingredients as well. Enter your original recipes by filling out the form below. Winners will be announced at the end of each week — one representing each ingredient. Readers will then vote for an overall winner whose recipe will be cooked by Chef Mark Noguchi and featured in a live virtual event in July.
Hawaii imports more than 80% of its food, which keeps our cost of living high, limits our options and creates environmental problems. Civil Beat launched its "Hawaii Grown" project in January to explore solutions and identify problems. It's unlikely that Hawaii will ever grow enough wheat or rice to sustain the population, but as the latest story in the series points out, there are plenty of homegrown alternatives that can help us reduce our reliance on imported food by decolonizing our taste buds. We've partnered with Chef Hui, a group of local cooks and food service providers whose mission is to deepen the connection to Hawaii's food system and community. We'll be sharing their recipes and videos so you can cook along with us throughout the challenge. Entries will be judged by Civil Beat staff and Chef Hui members on creativity, do-ability and appearance. Special bonus for the narrative you share about the recipe. If you don't have a recipe to submit, you can still participate in weekly challenges on social media. Be sure to follow us so you don't miss them and use the tags @civilbeat and #cbrecipechallenge. Winners will be featured on Civil Beat's "Hawaii Grown" page. We've got a bunch of great prizes including local produce boxes from Farm Link, restaurant gift certificates, Civil Beat swag, Chef Hui gear and more. Not to mention choke bragging rights. Submit your recipes through the form below and email a photo to membership@civilbeat.org.
