Further adventures in baking: on Sunday the boys were coming round, so I whipped up Tomato Soup Cake from B Dylan Hollis’ essential Baking Yesteryear cookbook (“the best recipes from the 1900s to the 1980s”). I know it sounds odd, but tomato soup cake was a housewife’s staple in the 50s, 60s and 70s (I remember my mother making it when I was a kid), it’s an extremely user-friendly recipe (I’ve made it twice now) and you can’t actually taste the tomato soup (it tastes primarily of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves). Recommended! Watch B Dylan Hollis break it down here.

Decided to make a vintage gelatin … salad? This year. It was so odd putting soda in gelatin, and I didn’t even know canned cherries existed. I actually liked it!

I snapped up the cookbook Baking Yesteryear by B Dylan Hollis as soon as it dropped. I've already made his peanut butter bread a few times. Today I attempted his date and walnut bread for the first time. So good! And simple - a very spartan, minimalist (possibly Depression era) recipe.
