Sourdough Molasses Spice Cake


Want yet another way to use up your sourdough and create a healthy almost gluten free dessert? This will certainly please! To make it completely gluten free use brown rice sourdough. This is something I have never tried, but may be worth a shot if you like a good sourdough bread but cannot handle wheat products. If you don't have the other flours and starches, just use regular unbleached organic flour.

1 cup of sourdough starter
3/4 cups of white rice flour
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup of potato starch
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of succanat
1/2 cup of blackstrap molasses
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ginger
1 teaspoon of baking soda

Prepare an 8x8 pan by spaying with nonstick spray.
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix together sourdough starter, flours and potato starch and let sour for 8 hours. The dough will be thick. Cream together the butter, succanat and blackstrap molasses. Then add the eggs, sea salt, spices and baking soda. Add the sourdough mixture and stir to thoroughly combined. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

This cake is best served warm and topped with a little whipped cream or powdered sugar. Another way to use up that sourdough. Wonderfully fragrant and flavorful!

The Art of a Well Crafted Sermon

Art can be found in many forms. I always admire a person who can capture a sunset, or a mountain scene in a well crafted painting or photograph. I love a writer who can tell a good story where I fall in love with the characters in such a way, that I miss them when the story ends. But what is most beneficial to my soul is a preacher who can open up the scriptures and bring Jesus Christ to light my heart. Mike McKelvey is an artist preacher indeed. God has gifted him with a rare talent in crafting a sermon. Here is a link to a sermon he preached to First Baptist Church, Clinton, LA about two weeks ago. Mark 4:35-41 "A Clearer Picture of Jesus"

My Love for Mint

My Mint Garden I love mint! I love the smell of it. I love the taste of it and I love the calming affect it has on me when I crush a leaf between my fingers. It makes wonderful syrups to add into drinks and a soothing tea for stomach and nerves. The plant is easy to grow and comes in many varietes. Peppermint is still the best for medicinal purposes and spearmint for drinks or syrups. So easy to grow and so many uses! I have grown mints in large pots for years, dividing them every so often when they become root bound, thus creating more mint plants. I put my pots in a sunny location and water daily during the summer. Since I am using these plants in recipes, I make sure I use organic fertilizers to feed the plants. I harvest them as they grow and when they become very overgrown, I harvest a large amount to dry for teas. I dry in my oven at 100 degrees and store in glass jars. I dont't crush the leaves until I use them. Here are a few recipes that are my favorites. Tea for U
