Another Cake

In the last week I have tried a total of three red velvet cakes. My husband is starting to think I am a little weird. I thought the first one was moist; then Bill told me it was the driest cake he ever had. (Thank you very much...) So I threw the recipe out, and tried one from a Paula Deen Magazine. That one was much more moist because it had 1 1/2 cups of oil in it. But I was not totally satisfied, so tonight I made yet another one. This one uses 2 1/2 sticks of butter. I suspect it will be quite tasty when I try it tomorrow.

I also made a chocolate "party" cake. It was nothing to write home about.

So, since January 1, I have made: 2 Hawaiian wedding cakes, 1 sour cream coffee cake, 1 chocolate party  cake, 1 Tennessee jam cake, 2 chocolate pumpkin cakes, 1 vanilla "party" cake, and 3 Red Velvet cakes. That is 11 cakes, all with different recipes, and we are only in week 7 of the year. I am way ahead of schedule.

At his point, 6 have made the cut as truly acceptable. But I have not yet found my "signature" cake.

I have a Polynesian wedding cake and a Maple Walnut cake to try next week!
