If you follow me on Facebook you know I made a cake last week.
And not just any cake, but a cake I was pretty certain I had downright destroyed
then miraculously brought back to life!
I thought I would share the story of what happened today.
It comes from trying to bake while simultaneously cooking dinner, keeping a 1 year old from having a fit, and entertaining a very chatty 3 year old. Distracted much?
Can you believe I messed up the very first step in the recipe?
I even looked at it twice to be sure because it didn’t sound right!
*sigh*
So here’s the low down.
I’ve been itching to try this strawberry yogurt cake ever since I put together
The first step is very typical: cream together the butter and sugar.
For whatever reason, I completely overlooked the fact that granulated sugar was at the top of the ingredient list. I creamed it with the powdered sugar at the end of the ingredient list!
This pretty much fouled up the batter from the start.
By the time I had all of the ingredients in (still having overlooked the granulated sugar!),
my batter was the consistency of bread dough.
Doh!
Luckily I was able to add some milk and get the consistency back to what it should have been.
Then I added some sugar to get the taste right.
Finally baking it about 30 minutes longer than it called for because this is now one.dense.cake.
