Cake Recipe

I am passing along a recipe for Lemonade Cake which can be found with a click.

I don't know that I will ever make this recipe myself, but I pass it along because I had some at a birthday party and it was AWESOME.  The woman who made it told us where to find the recipe on the King Arthur Flour web site.

I do not always have great luck with cakes--they take a certain amount of attention that I can not always bring to the task.  I am thinking that getting cake flour (vs. all-purpose) and cake enhancer (what ever that might be) would make a difference.  This was seriously good cake.

  1. The picture of the cake looks nice. But, I don't think I could tolerate all that sugar in the recipe.

  2. I used to make good cakes...I think...maybe it is my tastes are more discriminating now. Anyway the box cake needs a ton of butter and I get the King Arthur Flour catalogue...so maybe will try that.

  3. I don't think that I will ever make this recipe myself, either. But it sure looks good. I will pass along to B, who's a reluctant baker, and if that doesn't work, I'll try my sister, who is an enthusiastic baker. (I'm not a baker at all; I once made a loaf of bread, and broke my toe when it dropped on my foot!)

  4. I DO love to bake and it looks delicious! I love the cake to frosting ratio!!! I've ordered cocoa and some vanillas from King Arthur Flour before but must admit I've never heard of cake enhancer either -- and now I am really curious! Thanks! I love lemon!

  5. I don't bake good cakes either but can really put a hurtin on one someone else has made. That does look delicious.

  6. Sounds yummy! Thanks for the recipe!! [BTW -- cake enhancer is a starch additive that keeps the cake moist. Necessary? Probably not.]

  7. Sounds good, but too many special ingredients for me.

  8. I also get the King Arthur catalog, have their cookbook, and use their products. The cake looks delicious, but I tend to make more pies and cookies than cakes. However, there is an banana nut cake in their cookbook that is really good too (I make it when our bananas get too ripe and I don't want them wasted.).

  9. Cake enhancer never heard of it and I think I make a pretty good cake.

  10. That cake looks absolutely wonderful. Being the non-baker that I am, it would surely look completely different if I tried to make it. Most of my baking endeavors come out of the oven and go into the trash.

  11. That does sound good. Like you, I'm not a cake baker. Mine never turn out. I gave up on them years ago, but this does look good.

  12. This looks and sounds wonderful, but it contains a lot of ingredients I've never heard of. I wish someone would make it for me.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
