Yogurt Patience

I'm trying to have patience while Benjamin learns to eat on his own. We usually end up with a yogurt mess.

Simple Yellow Cake With Chocolate Frosting

 

I asked Mike what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday and he answered yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I opted to make everything from scratch. I liked the way the cake turned out. It's more dense than a box cake. Usually, cake from scratch also turns out a bit drier, but this cake was moist for my taste. Also, I found an amazing chocolate frosting recipe. I found these recipes on allrecipes.com.

Yellow Cake

1 c butter
2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 c self-rising flour
1 c milk
1 T vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bunt cake pan. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the milk and vanilla, add alternately to the creamed mixture with the flour, ending with the flour. Mix only as much as necessary. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
