We will start the bidding at PRICELESS...

A couple of weeks ago our ward had a bake sale auction for the YM and YW. The only cake Randy wanted was this Austrian cake that a German couple brought. We desperately auctioned to no avail. We got outbid at $60 and we had just spent $70 on another cake. We just couldn’t afford this confection. So after weeks of begging, prodding and I am sure annoying the cutest little German lady to spill the beans on the recipe…we finally got it. Randy has a recipe from his mission but it is written not only in German but all metric measurements. I have wanted to taste the cake but not that bad.
Randy came home from Bishopric last night waving the 3x5 card around like a little kid. “Let’s make a cake. Let’s make a cake.” I couldn’t say no.
Here is the recipe….
If you can see past the filthy glass in my oven, here is the cake. (I think that was the longest 45 minutes Randy has ever experienced.)
And the finished product…
I must say it was pretty good. It is defiantly European because it was not very sweet. It tasted a lot like a breakfast muffin or cake. And it needed a tall glass of milk to go with it.


Speaking of cakes… Sunday I made Matt’s birthday cake. I got the recipe from Bakerella. To get the recipe go here.

This is not my picture… I embezzled it from her website. I forgot to take a picture of my finished product. But anyone who saw it back me up in saying it looked pretty dang close. If you like peanut butter this is the cake for you. It also needs a VERY tall glass of milk to go with it.

YUM!!!!!
