CAKE!!!! That Is All.........

A few weeks ago my daughter hit a big milestone, she celebrated her first birthday! It's so hard to think of her as a toddler instead of a little baby, but she really has grown up from the sweetest little baby into an even sweeter little girl. Her party was amazing, with 15 family members making the trip to celebrate with her!

I thought that I would share the recipe for the cake that I made her......

Red Velvet Cake

3/4 C Butter

1 1/2 C Sugar

1/2 C Cocoa

1 tsp Baking Soda

2 Tbsp Red Coloring

2 1/2 C Cake Flour
1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla

2 Eggs

1C Buttermilk

2 tsp Vinegar

Beat butter, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt and vanilla in a large bowl for 2 mins until creamy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time until well blended. In a seperate bowl, stir milk, food color and vinegar until well blended. With mixer on low speed, beat in flour in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk mixture in 2 additions, beating until just blended. Bake at 350 for 20 mins.

And of course and picture of the birthday girl enjoying it...............
