I have been having a fabulous time with my new kitchen toys. – aka the new Kitchenaid Mixer and Blender.
A batch of chocolate chip cookies is always a favorite and so easy to make.
I used a small ice cream scoop to scoop out just the right amount of dough and make the cookies all look really uniform.
If you are looking for a really fabulous cake recipe that has a light fresh taste, you need to make this one. Perfect for company or sunday super. (This whipped up in an instant in the new mixer)
Three layers of the most wonderful goodness you can imagine.
Do you also remember these vintage cakesavers. This one belonged to my Aunt. She is the one who gave me the recipe – She always had some fabulous cake in this saver every time I was at her house.
Whenever I make this cake, I always use her cakesaver and the fabulous cake comb with the baklite handle that she used. Sweet memories of a very neat Aunt and childhood. Her recipe was her mother’s and it is called “Mary’s Cake. Please enjoy.
