Break cake

It is ironic that the time that I have been eating lots is the time that I have been writing less of it. I havent been having much variety. Bored of whole wheat with peaut butter and brown rice, I have finally moved to some grapes and banana.
I first read of Viennese brownies on womansday.com but hey picture wins. with these I hope to break the fast of not having made desserts in a long time.
I have a birthday coming up. Cake time again. Yippee!

Thinking about Viennese brownies, I realise that it rhymes. Instead of baking them in a 9x9 square pan, I used a 8in round pan. And there started my troubles. I dont know why I wanted the brownies to be like pie slices, I had to almost bake them double time. Family and friends liked the taste, so no regret. I felt that the cream cheese part tasted like khalakand sweet.What I made didnt have the nice sandwich layer like in the pictures. once of the reasons is the swirl that I did which I shouldnt have because I put almond slices on the top. It was hard to decide what I wanted. The swirl look or the almond topping look. I was going to do half of this and half of that, but I did both which kind of served only half the purpose.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
