Dad’s birthday cake
It must be a year of cookies as I read a lot cookie recipes in my Google Reader. So much that I am tempted to bake them myself, but baking cookies, for me, takes so much energy and so much of my time, I’d rather have some cookie delivery at home.
Well anyway, last month, during my dad’s birthday celebration, my sister and I were planning to either bake a cake or make some birthday cookies. Take note make and not bake. We planned on ordering chocolate chip cookies from a friend and decorate them. Eventually, though, the cake won and here’s how it came up. It is a conglomeration of recipes I found from magazines with a cinnamon flavor. I like cream for frosting so I used that and the filling was made up of chocnut candies (a local chocolate-peanut candy), roasted peanuts and cream.
Dad’s birthday cake
1 and 2/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1. Sift flour, cinnamon powder, baking soda and salt together for three times.
2. Cream eggs and sugar for five minutes. Add oil, vanilla extra and beat for another five minutes.
3. Add the dry ingredients and beat till dissolved.
4. Brush baking pan with butter. Pour the batter and bake at 300oF for 40 minutes. Cool down before decorating.
For the birtday cake, we baked two batches to have a layered cake.
The recipe for the frosting follows later.
