I couldn't resist one last birthday post. Liam requested chocolate cake with vanilla frosting for his family birthday party, the end of his week long birthday! I made my favorite recipe for chocolate cake from Hershey (link for those interested). This cake is everything you could want in a good chocolate cake, moist, rich and very chocolaty! Valerie always wants this one for her birthday also and now refers to it as "her" cake. I almost always make a layer cake when baking for a special occasion, but Liam thought we needed more room for the guitar this time so I had to make it flat. We just had the last piece today and it was still good!

P.S. I have just heard that you guys check up on my blog as much as I do yours :) I will try harder to update more often(and boot Kyle in the behind so he will also!)
Hee hee, I shouldn't confess how many times per day I check for new updates...I miss you guys and love to hear what you're doing!
ReplyDeleteI think we'll just have to call this "Leigh's Best Birthday Cake" so we can all have it on our day! I would like mine with dark chocolate frosting, please.
I'm just as guilty about looking at everyone's sites. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess if we're all confessing...I too am guilty of obsessive post checking. Like Amy said, It's nice to get caught up with everyone, I feel more connected to my family.
ReplyDeleteAs for that cake, you could duplicate Amy's for my birthday, Yum! (actually I think you have done that exact cake for my birthday, and it was delicious...)
