I normally use this whipped cream for sweet potato pie, but I think it might be good with vanilla ice cream, maybe with some hot chocolate sauce. And some chopped nuts. And a cherry on top!

Brandied Whipped Cream
1 1/3 cups heavy cream, cold
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon brandy

Whip!

Another carrot cake, which is a favorite in our family. It has been a long time since the last one I made. Recipe is upthread somewhere if anyone is interested.

Does pouring heavy cream on my Häagen-Dazs make me a bad person?

I've been known to down it straight from the carton! And raw milk from the barn......

boy do I miss that!!!!

Looks very tasty.

I'm not a big sweets fan, but I'd like a bit of Creme Fraiche/Whipped Cream on the side with that.

Plan for next time is to serve it with cinnamon-vanilla ice cream on the side. What do you think?

I'm sure it would be wonderful.

We have this great ice cream in our region [ https://www.graeters.com ] and they make a wonderful rich pumpkin ice cream that I have discovered becomes sublime when covered caramelized pecans.

Try at your own risk, I just got back from Kroegers after emptying their freezer case of Graeters...

I love adding double cream to ice cream

Will also have clotted cream and ice cream if I have it in the fridge

Made this very simple ginger cake a few times recently, it's really rather good. Quadruple the spices and use dark brown sugar instead of caster though if anyone tries it. The batter is really thin, I thought I'd made a mistake when I made it but it seems to work fine

Over the summer I messed with AP flour for the first time. To see. King Arthur showed me recipes for sweet cakes/breads like those pictured below.

I was reminded of hippie chicks, decades ago, flaunting their domestic prowess with these types of loaves. Pfft!

What I learned: A cake is nothing more than a big, soft, puffy cookie. Not my style, said Greasy.
