Sweet 16 plus 30
Today is my birthday. I am a whole day older then I was yesterday. Whoot, whoot. I am baking a cake for my birthday. It is a new recipe and I don't know how good it will be but I have licked the bowl and I can attest to the quality of the batter-it is delish as my Grandma Goldie would say.
Georgia Cornbread Cake
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup brown sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 Cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 Cup self-rising flour
1 teas. vanilla extract
2 Cups pecans, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9x 13 inch pan. Stir together sugars, eggs and oil in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in flour and vanilla. Add pecans and stir until evenly mixes. Pour in pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
I did mix up some scrapple this weekend. I used the second recipe and while it was alright the opinion of the house was that it needs about 4 times more pork in it then the recipe called for.
I hope you all have a great day and I will leave the drawbridge open tonight just in case you want to stop by for birthday cake! Oh and dont worry, there will be no serving of scrapple- it went to the office to feed the cats. Be Blessed!
Update: The cake is better then awesome. It is called Cornbread Cake because the texture is supposed to remind on of cornbread. I would have found a better name like Nuts for the Red Queen or something like that. Ha. It is really great and doesnt really need anything with it except maybe a quality cup of coffee and some good conversation-yep it belongs with the good life!
