(from Garlic and Sapphires)
Linnea is two weeks old today. Matilda's boyfriend Jack is coming over this afternoon after naps. We baked a cake.
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an angel food cake or a bundt cake pan.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and add this to the butter mixture, mixing well. Add the sour cream and mix well; then mix in the vanilla. (The batter will be thick.)
Pour the batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden. Let cake rest for 5 minutes before turning it out of the pan.

yum. I have read all her books but haven't cooked anything from them. How did it turn out?

It's a funny cake. Sometimes it's awesome and sometimes it's filler. I can't figure out where I go wrong when it's filler. But today it was awesome.

have you tried any of her other recipes?
i'm reading heat right now. No recipes, but if you like books by cooks (or writers who are trying to be cooks) it's a good read. because you have a lot of time on your hands.
