Week 3 Recipe

This cake is one that Ben's Grandma introduced me to and used to make alot. It is so delish!!! I forget I have it, but it is easy and fun to make for any occasion.

Amish Cake (Recipe straight from Amish country PA.)

½ c. butter
3 c. flour
2 ¼ c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, you can always use milk and apple cider vinegar)
2 tsp. baking soda (put in milk)

Cream sugars and butter together then add buttermilk, soda, flour and vanilla. Bake at 350º F until done. Take out of oven and spread on topping. Put back in oven until bubbly (about 10 min.)

Topping

6 Tbsp. butter
1 c. sugar
4 Tbsp. milk


Today I put Emily down for a nap and did some scrappin'. Caleb even helped by grabbing the mouse several times and punched a few keys here and there.
Emily was about 6 months old in the picture and boy was she cute. I still think she is cute, just little girl adorable instead of baby adorable.
