I have always loved lemon cake...my grandma made that almost every time we came over for dinner ( as I remember)
So for her birthday I wanted to do the same for her...she is so special to me and doesn't do much (any) cooking these days.
I happened across a set of Pampered Chef Stoneware at the Neighborhood Thrift a while ago...a bunt pan was part of the set. So I was super excited to make her lemon cake in that and surprise her.
Well it didn't turn out how I had hoped and it STUCK!! BOO on that!
beauty from ashes,
lemonade from lemons...
is what I thought
I cut the sad "looking" lemon cake, which still tasted amazing, and used one of my favorite bowls
~ trifle bowl ~
and presto...a favorite new dessert.
recipe below::
make one box of lemon cake (whatever shape you like because you will cut it up later)
cool cake and cut into large bite sized pieces
layer up with cool whip
and fruit of choice
drizzle glaze and add a candle
drizzle topping includes:
powdered sugar and a bit of milk
(ratio is 1/2 cup powdered sugar to 1 Tbl sp milk)
drizzle on top and around the edges to moisten cake
outcome...delightful!
happy happy birthday grandma!
