Slice

A slice of my final cake for my cake decorating class at Michael's. The taste is definitely better than the decorations, but I don't mind. Shortly after I ate this, Alicia brought over these amazing cupcakes, and we went to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight, which was awesome!

 

 

lemony-cake Recipe:

 

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

1-1/2 cups self-rising flour

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

 

 

In a small bowl, sift together flours. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and extracts.

 

In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well before adding the next. Mix in flour in three parts, alternating and ending with the milk mixture.

 

Pour into two greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 

Run a knife around the perimeter of the pans and let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto racks to cool completely.

 

I just used a can of lemon cream pie filling between the layers. It's frosted with Wilton Buttercream.
