I made the Mud Turtle Cupcakes back in February. As I recall, my favorite part was the topping. When choosing my free choice for the week, finding something simple was a consideration. There’s just so much going on in Poznan this weekend: Ethno Port music festival, a horse show, a new driving range to check out. Baking will probably have to be squeezed into non-daylight hours, and we don’t have many of those this time of year.
Catalan Salt Pinch Cake was the lucky winner. It looked like an easy cake. I still need to bake it and Jenn doesn’t. So there you go.
Rose talks about this being known as pinch bread in Barcelona. I can only imagine that it is a very localized dish. We spent four years in Spain, but never made it to Barcelona in our travels. This bread or cake is new to me.
The cake was easy to make and reminds me a lot of angel food cake, but it does use yolks.
Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don’t post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group’s baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted join in.

Your’s turned out fantastically well! I do no remember this cake with much fondness. It was an utter flop three times over. What kind of horse show?

Thank you, Vicki. Wow, three tries; you are a dedicated baker. I’ve inserted a link to the horse show. I suspect you’ll know more about it than I do.
