Despite the terrifyingly unseasonal warmth of late, I've been baking fall treats to beat the band! Here's an apple spice cake (with whisky), adapted from Joy of Cooking, that will help to quell any apocalyptic thoughts. This cake is surprisingly versatile, meaning that it can be eaten all day long--before, after or in lieu of any meal.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Grease and flour an 8x8 cake pan
Whisk together:
1.5 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Add and stir together until smooth:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons whisky
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped apples (leave the skins on)
Bake in pan for 40 minutes. Eat constantly.

Yum. I'm not the baker - so, I'll have my wife make that for me as soon as possible. Sounds like it will be very good with the yogurt added.

This is low-impact baking, fer sure. A great thing about this recipe is that you mix everything in one large bowl, and then just dump it into the pan and bake. You don't need a mixer, you don't even have to crack an egg! And you can make yourself a little whisky-soda while you're waiting.
Who is this crockstar99 (sounds porny) who, like Herbs, puts booze into their food? I think this would go smashingly with the boozy Racoon Soup above. Perhaps for November we should have a Booze-in-the-food only segment on Forker. I think if baby has had her first Hash, she would certainly not mind some booze on top.
