It won't be long and we'll be planning our little private Valentines menus for our loved ones. . won't we? I tried this cake the other day. . and now I suspect it could be on the menu for Valentines Day. It is made in a 5 inch Springform Pan enough to serve 4 or .. .2 today and 2 tomorrow.The beauty of homemade cake is not in the perfection of the cake itself as it is in the love that was poured into each mouthful.
I love looking through old recipe books and finding little gems that I've never tried. . .run on over to the Mennonite Girls Can Cook for the recipe.
All for now. . . with love,
The cake is just gorgeous! I love it. it looks like it would be so much fun to make for a special occassion.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is one mighty fine looking cake! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteDid you really make a practise cake? That is a gorgeous cake and looks like just the thing to finish off a romantic Valentines dinner for two. I must go over to find out what's under the icing!
ReplyDeleteJeepers Lovella that cake looks better than the ones in the pastry shop!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic...tastes fantastic! How very lucky of me to run into Lovella on practise day. I'm on my way to print off the recipe and go find a five-inch cake pan. Very special indeed!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I almost ate my laptop now.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful cake! I think it looks perfect for that cozy little Valentine Day's dinner.
ReplyDeleteSo...what else will be on the menu?
That looks pretty "cookbook picture" perfect to me Lovella - great job! And I'm sure it tasted fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteI always say a cake not only has to look good, but it has to taste good too. EVERY recipe on your blog looks fabulous and the ones I've tried have tasted fabulous too. Thanks for sharing your recipes and photos.

Lovella,
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy how you celebrate life; all the thoughtfull preparation which goes into planning occassions you share with your loved ones.
what a beautifully simple cake stand. I have decided that I want to collect unique and interesting cake stands. I only have one right now but whenever I am at my parents (Revelstoke, BC) i go to the antique store and check around. Yours is really sweet! And the cake looks delicious too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cake. Girls just love something that pretty and guys...well most of them just love dessert. Afew don't...that leaves more for me most of the tiem. But...I will be making this soon. I have others I know that will be delighted with something so perfect. Kathy
ReplyDeleteYummy and beautiful! And what a great idea --- to test out Valentine's desserts to make sure we get it JUST RIGHT! Ingenious!
ReplyDeleteHappy nibbling. . .

I made this recipe cake yesterday evening with sweet rice flour for the gluten-free family member, the 8-inch layer version, with the custard frosting. It was okay yesterday, but today, after being in the refrigerator all night, mmmmmmm, wonderful! Thank you for the recipe. Debbie
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks utterly delicious.
ReplyDeleteI could be your Valentine :)
