Oh My Darlin'

It's a new year, and Minnesnowta is finally being true to itself. Yikes.

I'm not going to lie, I got pretty pumped when I packed several pairs of shorts into my suitcase for my upcoming trip. 

Then I remembered that my legs haven't seen the light of day in months.

Womp womp.


I decided to brighten up this blustery day by trying a new loaf recipe! 

Vanilla Clementine Loaf
makes one loaf
adapted from this recipe

10 clementines
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup millet flour
1/4 cup white rice flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Whisk together flours, starch, soda, powder, xanthan gum, salt, and sugar. 

Zest four of the clementines. Juice eight of them. Cut and separate the wedges of the remaining two.

In a separate bowl, combine butter, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, 1/4 cup clementine juice, and zest. 

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry using a rubber spatula. Fold in clementine segments. 

Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes. 


I may have sang the song while I mixed up the batter...


I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!

Mine was a very eye-opening experience and I look forward to what 2012 will bring.
