We Made Cake

On Monday, the girls and I decided that we wanted cake later in the day. So before naptime, we made a yellow cake from scratch...soooo yummy! There's no pictures of the cake because it didn't look very pretty, but there are some pics of the girls because they are always cute!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup milk

Preparation:Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix until completely combines. Slowly add flour alternately with milk. At end of addition batter should be smooth. Divide between 2 pans.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then invert onto a rack and cool completely before frosting.
For a 9 x 13 pan - Baked at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 38 minutes.

I frosted the cake with a frosting made of cool whip and chocolate pudding. Not pretty, but still so delish!

I'm glad you didn't post a picture of the cake because then I can focus on how cute your girls are and not on how much I want to eat the cake :D
