and it can take an entire day to make one.

I'll wait for the Malaysian Lapis cake making robots.

Oh my. Looks like a lot of love in making that cake. I’m not good at baking. Lord knows I’ve tried. I can bake decent cupcakes, but never in my life have conquered the pie crust.

That's pretty!

I've got focaccia dough rising right now. Gonna slice a few pieces in half and make gyro meat sandwiches. Here is a picture of food. Pita, cc and Cherry.

I discovered corn fritters in New Zealand. They were served with avocado sliced thinly, Cilantro, lime, sour cream and topped with sweet Thai chili sauce, usually available in grocery stores. I loved them, made them several times, but they aren’t on my low-carb diet now, sadly. All the recipes on Google seem to prefer avocado salsa to sliced. They make a wonderful week-end breakfast/brunch.

I love corn fritters! America’s Test Kitchen had a recipe for vegetable fritters that were also delicious. I changed it a bit to leave out the red and green peppers; really, you can use any kind of quick cooking vegetables, except perhaps tomatoes. Here’s my version:
Vegetable Fritters
1 small (8”) zucchini, grated
½ carrot, grated
1 green onion, minced
¼ cup diced onion (small dice)
½ cup flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
Dash of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
Enough cold water to make a batter slightly thicker than pancake batter
Vegetable oil for ½ inch in large frying pan
Mix dry ingredients with water
Add in veggies, combine thoroughly
Heat oil over med high heat til just shimmers.
Using large utility spoon or ½ cup measure, scoop batter into patties, into pan, flattening them slightly. Do not crowd. Fry until golden brown on one side, turn over and fry other side til golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.

I like them plain, but may also serve with sour cream, or ranch dip, even applesauce.

Is a corn fritter the same thing as a hush-puppy?

Good morning JT! Those cakes are so beautiful, works of art really. Unfortunately I have never liked any kind of spice cake. Chicken salad recipe looks great.
