Dank cakes

Here we have carrot cake with cream cheese icing, which I'll be making again for Iris's first birthday.  Minus the nuts.  The recipe also calls for pineapple to make a really moist cake.  I have to check that she's had pineapple before.  I don't want to send this kid into anaphylaxis on her first birthday.   


We made chocolate angel food cake.  After baking, you have to cool angel food cake upside down to keep it from falling.  I hope no one is disgusted by the state of our table.  I am, a little.


This is the best angel food cake I've ever had.  Usually they're really dry, but this was so soft and moist.  I know people hate the word moist, but it's the only adjective that works when describing baked goods.  I'm not going to say "That cake was really damp."


We also tried this pumpkin roll with cream cheese icing.  I say tried because Chef said that it didn't rise correctly.  We actually had to try twice, but neither one worked out.  But it was edible.  I ate it.  Dusty doesn't like cream cheese icing.

  1. Mmmmm, cream cheese... and pumpkin... and angel food cake... moist angel food cake. Can you tell I'm hungry?

    Anyway... Iris has not had pineapple, but use it anyway. There is a first time for everything. Besides, it would be the second exposure that would probably be the one to send her to the ER. ;)
