If you are going to wake up early on a Sunday morning in order to make a cake for a dinner party that evening, make sure that you are completely awake and that you have your glasses on.
1 1/4 C water is not equal to 1/4 C water
1/2 C Oil is not equal to 1/3 C oil
Misreading the directions can cause your cake to turn out like corn bread - and then you'll have to start over.
Just saying..........
Want a really good cake recipe that has nothing to do with this post?
It's called Lemon Poke Cake and it is a McQuay favorite!
Make a Lemon Cake from a Betty Crocker Mix or something - following the directions exactly (be awake...wear glasses....)
Bake it and let it cool for 15 min.
Mix 1 thawed can frozen lemonade concentrate w/ 3/4 C powdered sugar.
Poke holes w/ a fork all over the cake - all over.
Then pour the mixture over top - slowly so it has time to soak in and not just run to the sides.
Wait until it's sufficiently cool and then frost it w/ lemon frosting
We like to keep it in the fridge since we like it better cool.
It's delish.
Enjoy!!
OMG Heidi, that sounds so good!!! I'm gonna make that this weekend for sure!! Thanks!!!! Regina
