3rd time’s a charm?

Posted in Rachel for now by Rachel on the August 23rd, 2006

This past Sunday we celebrated Jason’s 25th b-day. Yeah. Fullfiling my wife-ly duty I made him his favorite cake Angel food cake with sprinkles. Now last year I added the sprinkles to the batter too early and the cake turned a pretty shade of purple. Tasted great, but not quite fitting for a 24 year old man’s birthday cake. So this year bound and determined to make a better cake I bought different sprinkles. Applying the principle more is better I added close to 2 cups of sprinkles to the batter. Pretty proud of my self I put the cake in the oven, removed it at the proper time, and allowed it to cool. Just before it was time to blow out the candles I tried to get the cake out of the pan. To my surprise it seemed to be stuck so I gave it a good shake and plop it came out. It seems that I added perhaps too many sprinkles and that they all fell to the bottom of the cake. The cake had a brown, melted candy top layer. It looked like a doughnut. Also it seems because of the increased sprinkles to cake batter ratio the cake was unable to rise and produce the fluffy angel food texture and taste. Bummer, strike two. So next year I am hoping that the third time is a charm. Happy birthday Jason
