I first saw the recipe on a website called Pinterest, and further discovered that it is a recipe pulled from the Pillsbury website. Well, I for one did not know that one could find recipes on that website, though it should have been obvious. But honestly, when I think of Pillsbury what comes to mind is not recipes for dessert! I, like many, picture biscuits and the Pillsbury Dough Boy getting poked in the belly and giggling. Regardless, this cake looked somewhat difficult to make. As I perused the recipe, however, it became clear to me that it might be a little easier that what the picture led me to believe. And I was right!
The recipe called for three separate cake pans, because the cake is in three layers. I was very relieved to find that I did indeed have three cake pans to use. Whew!
All that's left is to frost it!
Yay frosting!
Ahhh the end result. Thankfully, the cake was a big hit. I got tons of compliments on it and multiple requests for the recipe. I was happy my friends enjoyed it. While I love to bake, there's not point if there aren't people to help you savor the results.
I don't know what I'll be making for next week. I just recently acquired a candy thermometer so I might just try a couple of candy recipes I've been eying. On the other hand, there is a really good recipe for oven fried chicken and spicy seet potato fries that looks really good. Either way, I will keep my promise to myself to cook SOMETHING every week, however small.
