Let's Bake a Cake

For Christmas Helen got the cutest gift! A Sassafras Cake Making Tool Kit. It came with a bright green spoon, two cute oven mitts, a blue pan, a pig timer, and a rather yummy and super easy recipe for a cake. Which of course, I can't find anymore, so if anyone has the recipe handy and could share, I'd appreciate it! Even Matt thought the cake was good!

Helen loved making her first cake. She is still talking about how she helped "stir." We even did a little bowl licking. The problem? The downside? The cake had to bake for 40 minutes. Which wasn't so much a flaw with the product, as a flaw in Helen's patience. In that she has none. 40 minutes pushed her close to the proverbial edge. She just didn't understand why that cake had to cook when the batter was already so delicious. And to some extent, I have to agree. Batter is delicious. Why bake it?

But batter, cake, whatever your preference, we had so much fun with the Cake Making Tool Kit. The pink "Mommy's Helper" apron that I put Helen in while she cooked didn't hurt the cute factor either.
