The title of this entry is funny because it could almost be an A=B illustration. Anyhow! Made a cake for Tripp after a very positive review at work on Wednesday. Tripp came home and after I enthusiastically showed him the bunt in the oven he said to me, 'Sounds like someone just really wanted to eat a cake.' Well I never! Anyhow, successful recipe and one worth sharing.Vanilla Cake
Ingredients
4 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2.5 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 350
This recipe is adapted from a very fancy fluffy vanilla cake recipe which had way too many steps. If you're okay with your cake coming out a little dense and with a texture similar to cornbread then begin by taking all the ingredients and mixing them together until well blended. If you'd like to fuss, go to this blog and give it a go!
Pour into your desired greased cake pan and bake between 25 and 45 minutes depending on the pan.
Vanilla Frosting
1 stick of room temperature butter
1.5 c powder sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp vanilla
Whip together and whalla! The fancy blog called to triple this recipe, however I just doubled it and found it was more than enough to cover a bunt.
Also, it's about that time to post a photo of my enormously large 'oven' for the Judah bun. If we opt for the 39 week induction as our doctors are talking, that would make for only 5 weeks to go!

Aww, you look adorable! And it's very loving and supportive of you to make Tripp a Work Celebration Cake, regardless of if you might have ulterior motives =].
This week i made myself some Oreo brownies for my birthday, and as soon as they finished baking i realized that what i really wanted was cake instead. But cake AND brownies seemed like a little much, even for a mega-preggo!
Love it!!
