Please post all your wonderful favorite cake recipes on this thread so we can all enjoy them!!
piratesmate said:Both of my kids had the applesauce cake (as cupcakes) for their first birthday since it didn't have eggs. I also fooled myself into thinking it had some nutritional value because of the fruit ...at least more than a regular cake. Of course I skipped the nuts & just used Cool Whip on them. Between those memories & watching Grammy make it, even seeing the recipe always brings a smile to my face.
I have a couple other favorites from my grandmother and great-great-aunt, but they're missing instructions or say things like "flour" (instead of 2 c flour) or "bake in a quick oven" or "use a piece of butter the size of a walnut".
One of those is for a Hot Milk Sponge Cake, which is the first cake I ever made by myself - at age 10. Either there used to be more instructions written somewhere, or I just dumped everything in a bowl & mixed, then baked at 350 until it "looked done." I remember it was awfully good though!
