Glazed Lemon Cake

This week I thought that I would make Glazed Lemon Cake, last made six weeks ago (for the office).  Glazed Lemon Cake seems to be a particular favourite, although last week's Chocolate Guinness
Cake went down really well, both at the office and church.

Enjoy!

Guinness (Stout) Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This Sunday is Father's Day and I decided to try a recipe I have not made before, Guinness (stout) chocolate with Cream Cheese Frosting.  I have, in the past, made both chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting, but not a chocolate cake containing Guinness.  Only one problem, there was no Guinness in the house which meant I had to wait until Nigel could go to the store.

The cakes were, therefore, baked late and were still warm when it was time to turn in for the night and did not get their frosting.  For some inexplicable reason I was awake early and decided on an early start (around 5.15 a.m.) preparing the cream cheese frosting and spreading it.

Enjoy!

Bumbleberry

Although there was some Bumbleberry Cake sent in on Monday, I decided to make it again for today.  It would appear that this recipe last made an appearance in the rotation  more than a year ago.

Usually, in the form of a bundt cake (as are a lot of the recipes I use) it would not serve as many people, which is why I usually choose to bake most of the time using the 9" x 13" format.

Enjoy!

Banana Cake

This week I have made Banana Cake, using a different recipe, which I tried for the first time on Sunday.  It is baked in the usual format and split in half lengthwise, sandwich with buttercream and toffee bits.  I have dusted it with icing sugar, although by the time it is at the office this will have absorbed into the cake.

Enjoy!
