Turtle Mountain Tasting

The folks at Turtle Mountain sent Ashley a big ol’ box of their coconut line of ice creams. And she was nice enough to share! So we did a little reverse dinner and started with ice cream.

I think my favorite was the peanut butter chocolate. But the mocha was a close second. And the banana split sammich was a great idea. The cookie for their sammiches was a little crunchy though. It should be soft enough to get all stuck along the gumline of your front teeth. Doesn’t stop it from being enjoy able though.

Coconut Lemon Bundt Cake

Seriously, how long did you think I was going to wait before breaking in the bundt pan? Apparently not much more than 24 hours. This is the Coconut Lemon Bundt Cake from Veganomicon. And it’s a very forgiving recipe. I actually ended up being short on sugar and probably subbed about 1/4 cup of brown sugar for some of it. I was also probably short a little bit of lemon zest. And then we have my fun-loving oven that decided to pop up by 100 degrees during the first 20 minutes of baking. I turned it down twice and never was able to get it all the way down to the suggested cooking temperature. No matter. It came out moist on the inside, lightly browned and a little bit crisp on the outside. I suspect the crispiness will go away once it cools which is always what seems to happen. But I love that the crazy oven temps didn’t ruin the cake. And just look at it!
