Righto, being in the Great Southern Land of Australia, let's do this!
My version of Everybody Bakes The Same Cake aka #ebtsc is going to be a vegan apple/berry clafoutis based on this recipe […]

The idea of “Everyone Bakes the Same Cake” is one of those quirky things that that I would only discover here on the Fediverse ❤️

yep that’s a flat cake

hopefully good but that is to be seen

#baking #bretonbuttercake #ebtsc
the cake, edges clean, out of pan, sitting on the stovetop, more brown than golden but not entirely not golden either

moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gy
didn’t rise much, but regardless, time to cool

45 minutes exactly as per recipe, hopefully not overdone

Probably a bit overdone breton butter cake, out of the oven, cooling in its pan atop the stove grate as a rack

marmaladed and now back into the freezer

this thing spends a lot of time in the freezer

Success! Looking forward to eating this later. Thanks @ottaross for organising.

Recipe here: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/pineapple-upsidedown-cake

A cake, fresh out of the oven, sits on a plate. It has seven pineapple rings arranged on top with cherries in the middle of each one, as well as in the gaps around the edge

Operation #ebtsc is underway! I drank the pineapple juice before realising some of it was supposed to go in the batter (oops!) so we'll have to see how much difference that makes. Baking isn't famous for precision or anything, right?

I never take photos of my mise en place, but figured I'd at least submit an "in progress" shot after I'd tidied up a bit.

As usual with me there have been _extensive_ modifications to the recipe, mostly to account for wanting to lower the amount of sugar.

#ebtsc #baking #mastonom
On a wooden counter there is a deep dish tart pan with a light tan colored dough with darker flecks thanks to using unbalanced almond flour. The dough had obviously been pressed into the pan by hand as the finger impressions are visible. Next to it is a notebook with writing in pen on one side of the page and corrections in pencil on the other. In back there is a jar of deep yellow liquid that is partially melted brown butter, and a large metal mixing bowl with a wooden spoon where we can see more of the cake batter.

Alright. For the first time I've tried #EBTSC (everybody bakes the same cake) now I've never had a clafoutis before, so I'm not entirely sure what they're supposed to taste like, but I found this https://www.resplendentkitchen.com/vegan-clafoutis/ vegan one and […]

Fresh out of the oven clafoutis in a white ceramic pie plate. The clafoutis is completely covered with redcurrants and blackberries, which were cooked down and are shiny. A slice of clafoutis on a white plate. The bottom of the clafoutis looks custardy while the top third is mostly redcurrants and blackberries. Icing sugar is sprinkled on top.

The clafoutis is just as good if not better a day or two later. And when cut into slices and put in the fridge, is very much like left over pizza. Good cold and better than the night before. #ebtsc

I ate a slice. I don't think this style of cake is my thing? Maybe the almonds are throwing off the texture of the "custard" too much, but I just prefer a more cakey cake I guess. If you live locally and want a slice let me know, I'm probably going to be foisting it off on people all week.

The #ebtsc clafoutis turned out pretty well. Not too sweet, nicely done. Between my adult son and myself we ate half of it… no self control I guess 🐷

My first "Everyone Bakes the Same Cake" as not a baker.

Today I learned that melt the butter doesn’t mean soften the butter. We shall see if I have successfully engineered my way out of that little gotcha. 🥮👀

Now in the oven.

Well the cake is out of the oven, but I'm not terribly optimistic about getting it out of the pan intact. Also there was _a lot_ of liquid before it started to cool, so it might be a mushy mess. I may have used more cherries than was called for...

#ebtsc
A cake pan filled with a lightly browned cake studded with partially buried cherries that floated up from the bottom during baking. It is quite clearly not pulling away from the edges of the pan as it cools. The smell-o-vision is pretty good though, heavy on the delicious cake smell.
