Besides the waste of ingredients, including beautifully orange, farm fresh egg yolks (the cake recipe calls for 8 yolks for the "yellow cake"), the waste of time and pure frustration, I can say the second cake tasted amazing and I whole heartedly recommend it. See the link below!
For the second cake, I had to use three store purchased eggs- (as I already used EIGHT eggs in the first cake and my hens are laying less with the shorter days); it's pretty easy to tell which ones my happy, free ranging, country air loving hens laid! I must say I was proud of my girls and their plump, orange yolks--which I know contributed greatly to the cake tasting so scrumptious!
Now that's a yellow cake batter- simply egg yolks, butter, sugar, flour, salt and baking powder! I'll never use a box mix again!
It's amazing how badly a cake turns out when you forget to add two of the six ingredients- especially the baking powder!
Birthday cake for the chickens!!!
Ta-da! The frosting was ok; the sprinkles were a mistake but the actual cake was de-lish!
...and gobbled up!
The next time you have an excessive amount of eggs (which for me won't be until next spring/summer), consider this yellow cake recipe! I'm already excited to bake it again- next time with a rich, chocolate frosting.
And to that sweet, 9 year old, boy, that I made this cake for...twice...words can't express how thankful I am that your heavenly spirit picked me to give you life all those years ago! You, my first answered prayer of a child, gave me the gift of being able to become a "mama", YOUR mama! Love you sweet boy!
