It's My Birthday and I'll Bake if I Want To!


Nothing like a southern Dixie White Cake to bring some warmth on a cold February day.  And what better way to spend my birthday morning than baking a new cake.


I only had a few minutes, so I whipped up this darling and extra-delicious (thanks to the coconut) six-inch cake.  It's from the same recipe box where I had a lot of failures, so the success of this gem is a surprising gift.



Got to run, but I'll post more a bit later.

  2. Thanks, Erin. And happy birthday to you! That cake tasted pretty good, at least according to my co-workers who enjoyed it today.

  3. Happy birthday! Wow what a cake. I've been in a cake-baking frenzy as well, though not using vintage recipes. My birthday is Sunday. There is a theme here!

    Happy birthday to you, too Erin. Aquarians and cake go well together, don't you think?

  4. What is the word under sugar? Is it butter?

    1. Yes, it's butter. In more recent posts, I've been typing out the recipes to avoid this kind of situation.
