Sorry I haven’t written in a while.
I’ve been really busy getting school started back up again and errands.
Anyway, Tuesday, my friends came over for lunch and dinner.
We had lots of fun and we ended up baking – which we love to do,
you can see from other posts a while back!
We decided on a chocolate cake we’d never tried before, and started with our alterations:
½ cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
½ cup packed cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups milk
Beat butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.
In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients;
Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
Pour in a greased and floured baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
Let cool in pan for 20 minutes,
then cool on wire rack before frosting.
The frosting recipe given was:
½ cup margarine, softened
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp hot water
But, we decided to go with Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Frosting.
It made it so rich and chocolate that I couldn’t eat a whole piece!
(Which, being lactose intolerant, I shouldn’t have been eating it anyway!)
Here is a picture of the finished project:
My friend frosted it, and I decorated it.
So fun and yummy!
Also, Will and I started a hard 600 piece Global Puzzle Monday.
Well, we finished it today, and I’m so happy!
It took a lot of work, but it was fun.
Well, I gotta go take supper out of the oven.
Please pray for my mom recovering from oral surgery today. |
