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.

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

    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.

    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!)

    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!

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

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

    Sounds good, but too many special ingredients for me.

    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.).

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
