Hello, Everybody. I am Cheri’s granddaughter Mia and I am 4 years old. I will be your guest BLOGGER today.
Today Cheri and I had lots of fun baking a cake for my daddy’s bank. They are having a Bake Sale to raise money for RELAY FOR LIFE to help people that are sick with cancer like my friend Gage.
We baked my great-grandmother's
LEMON PUDDING POUND CAKE ...
it's my daddy's favorite.
The first thing you have to do is...read the recipe.
Then you beat the eggs and add the other things to make the cake taste yummy.
Next you use the mixer and mix, mix, mix, mix, mix....for 10 whole minutes.
Whew! My hand got tired so Cheri took over.
We’re wearing the matching aprons my Mama gave us for Christmas.
Of course, the best part of baking a cake is this.....
licking the bowl...and the beaters!
I even let my big brother share....boys can be so silly.
This is what our cake looks like now. Mmmmm....y-u-m-m-y!
I hope it sales for a lot of money to help all the sick people get well.
In case you want to try my great-grandmother's recipe, here it is:
LEMON PUDDING POUND CAKE
1 pkg. yellow cake mix 1 - 3 3/4 oz. pkg. instant lemon pudding mix
4 eggs 3/4 cup water
1/2 cup salad oil
Glaze: 1 cup confectioner's sugar & 1/3 cup lemon juice

Bake @ 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Remove hot cake from pan. Using a fork or wooden skewer, prick holes in top of cake, then drizzle glaze on top and sides of cake. GLAZE: combine conf. sugar & lemon juice and heat to boiling.

That cake is amazing!!! It's beautiful and I can just imagine how good it will taste! Lemon is one of my very favorites (only second to chocolate :-) and I would definitely buy it if I was close enough! I going to try and see if I can make one too and I hope that it looks as pretty as yours!
ReplyDeleteI had to come over upon the request of the Georgia Gobbler and see his little cake baking machine. Mia, please include a cake like that the next time your dad sends me boiled peanuts.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

ReplyDeleteOh Cheri,

Mia, when I was your age, licking beaters and bowls were my favorite part of cooking, whether I helped or not.
ReplyDeleteA little secret: I am now 74 and still to it...
Oh Cheri, your granddaughter is precious and what a little helper she is. Don't you just LOVE being a "Grandma".
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,
Gail
So happy to meet you Mia and your grandmother Cheri.
ReplyDeleteI just found you tonight and we have so many of the same friends I am wondering why it took me so long to find such a beautiful blog as yours.
This post is precious and I am glad I found you
