Mighty fine looking recipe PJ! Absolutely a must try it. I don't have Cinnamon Flav-R-Bites, and will definately purchase some in my next order. I'm thinking your Unsweetened Coconut, which I do have, might make a nice addition with the chocolate and cinamon and the rum flavor! Sounds like scrumptuous!
Dionakaye posted a question above asking if other things might gain from resting before baking - and I'm here to tell you the KAF Tender White Cake recipe is AMAZING in how much better it "rose" during baking after finding myself in a position in which I needed to let it rest before baking. I was one egg short and our car was "out". The mixed up batter sat for about an hour or so before the car returned and the egg was procured, added, then baked. Tender White Cake remains one of my all time favorite KAF recipes - along with a zillion others!
Wow, Paul, really interesting - I'll have to run this by the "cake experts" in the test kitchen, see what they think is happening. Just the baking powder doing its thing, the flour absorbing more liquid and the gluten developing and thus being able to carry more weight, or...? Thanks for your info. - and your kind comments. PJH
