I can’t post because I can’t upload any photos on the blog, for some strange reason each time I load a photo and press the “insert into post” option, I get a blank page with a “!Done” message at the bottom of the page.. So unless this thing sorts out on its own, I’m [...]

Dorie’s vanilla cake

The thing that attracted me to this recipe was Dorie’s description of a perfect tightly knot crumb reminiscent of Sara Lee’s. The result was more like a butter cake than Sara Lee’s pound cake. This is not a light and feathery cake, but a serious butter cake that had weight. And like all butter cakes, it tasted [...]
