.Last weekend my baby sister turned 26. I made her this cake from my Martha Stewart Baking Handbook. Click here for the recipe. Even thoguh I think I baked this a few minutes too long, I really liked the taste of this cake - I think it might become my go-to yellow cake recipe.

The book suggested Dark Chocolate frosting. Click here for the recipe. The frosting was good, but next time I think I'll try a regular chocolate frosting - this was was just a little too rich tasting for me.

The old pic is adorable. I have never made a cake from scratch. Is it really a lot better? I looks great and has made me think about going to pantry for a snack.
ReplyDeleteTraci - I think you should try making a cake from scratch - it's really not hard! Especially a basic cake recipe like this one. And then you could blog about it!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, what a cute photo! Is it you and you sister when you were little? Who's who?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to her!
The cake looks so GOOD. Very nice shots too.
Aww, what a cute post! That pictures showing up everywhere! Thanks for the delicious cake beege!
ReplyDeleteNurit - Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I really enjoy your blog and have been learning a lot from your posts on food photography. Yes - that is an old picture of me holding my sister when she was 2 weeks old. I turned 7 three weeks later.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Was it moist? A lot of times I find that these recipes for butter (or yellow) cakes are not as moist as I like them to be. I hate a dry cake!! What's your opinion?
