Cake...Glorious Cake! Whats not to love about a rich delicious vanilla cake. I made this for my sons 9th birthday, it was a huge success! I thought why not blog about this delicious cake everyone at the party could not stop complimenting me on making. Several said its 10 times better than a cake you buy and 300 times better than a box cake. This cake is made using the creaming method, in order for it to work, your milk, butter, and eggs need to be room temp. If you have no time to painstakingly wait for those reach room temp. Put in eggs into a bowl, add warm NOT hot water and let sit until no longer cool to the touch, pour milk in a small measuring cup, one with a handle and place in a bowl bigger than the measuring cup, be sure the bowl has warm water no higher than the measuring cup and let sit until milk is no longer cold to the touch. As for the butter, zap in the microwave at 10-second intervals, be sure your butter is not melted you just want it soft! If your ingredient...

Earlier this week I made brownies, I scoured my cabinets and lo' and behold no frosting. No problem I told myself, I can make my own. I didn't have ingredients to whip up Chocolate frosting. I opted to make decadent Peanut Butter Frosting. It's so tasty, my whole family loves this peanut butter frosting, it's great for cakes, brownies and more. This will frost 2 - 8 x 8 pans of brownies or a 8 x 12 - cake or 2 - 8 inch round cakes. I always keep 6 ingredients in my pantry at all times: powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla extract. You never know when you'll need to whip something delicious! If mixture resembles a crumbly looking texture and not smooth keep adding in 1 TSP of milk  until mixture comes out smooth and spreadable. Immediately refrigerate leftover frosting in an air tight container, good for 2 weeks. Voila! Enjoy!
