I always love a nice and refreshing salad/dip. They are the quickest and easiest to make. And they require fresh ingredients that you can easily find in your local market. This cucumber salsa is my new addiction. I stumbled upon this recipe not long ago. My husband fell immediately in love with this. He said he can eat this every day! Which I think is possible because he is crazy with cucumbers! It is technically a dip but he loves to eat this salsa as is. This is great with fish and chips, amazingly goes well with chops and fried chicken. A must-have in my house.

Like what I said my husband is a cucumber freak. He eats them as is or makes them into a salad with some vinegar, salt, sugar, and a dash of pepper. And he is fond of this cucumber salsa. I remembered one time he goes home with two plastic bags of cucumber and begs me to make him this cucumber salsa! You can tell how obsessed he is with this crisp, refreshing, creamy, but not overwhelmingly rich cucumber salsa.

How to Make Kentucky Butter Cake

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Then, grease and flour well a 10-inch or 12 cups bundt pan.

Step 3: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 4: In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Step 5: In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk with the vinegar.

Step 6: Add in the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture. Keep stirring until well mixed before adding in the vanilla. Then, mix in the milk-vinegar mixture alternately with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.

Step 7: Transfer the mixture in spoonfuls into the prepared bundt pan.

Step 8: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 9: Once done, remove from the oven but let the cake stay in the pan.

Step 10: Use the smaller end of a chopstick or similar sized tool to poke holes in the cake. Make sure to not go all the way through the bottom.

Step 11: Meanwhile, combine the sugar, butter, and brandy in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until melted. Make sure to not bring the mixture to a boil. Then, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Step 12: Carefully and gradually pour the glaze over the poked holes and let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan.
