From as far back as I can remember, mom would let Sister and me lick the mixer beaters.
Mother made wedding cakes, and catered weddings.
She got me hooked on cake batter.
And now, sometimes I make a cake just so I can eat the batter.
Confession.
It is good for the soul.
So, Internet, believe me when I say I know cake batter.
And this cake batter…it is fabulous.
FABULOUS!
I showed great restraint in only licking the beater for this cake.
Only because it was for the boy.
Normally, the chips get a choice of what kind of cake they are going to get, but this time, I pulled out my TWD cook book, pointed to the recipe and said “This is the cake your getting for your birthday.”
He only requested that I make cream cheese icing for it, instead of the butter cream.
Who am I to refuse cream cheese icing?
I heart cream cheese icing.
And because I love cream cheese icing that boy so much, I doubled the recipe.
This cake was so good, I could have eaten the entire thing all by myself.
Instead, we had a party…and I had to share that glorious cake with 4 men, and one woman.
I was lucky to even get a piece.
But that didn’t matter, because I had a bowl of cream cheese icing left over…muahahahahahha
If you want to make this Perfect Party Cake that Carol of Mix, Mix…stir, stir picked for today’s TWD, then go to her blog.
Get the recipe.
Make this cake.
Add only half the amount of lemon extract and use some vanilla bean paste.
Lick the beater.
Lick the spoon.
Leave some batter in the bowl and eat that too.
Double the cream cheese icing.
Use strawberry jam.
And have a party.
