Like I said yesterday I want to start baking more… so pulled out some pictures of a cake that my Granny made me! Iced Lemon Cake. It’s definitely one of my favorite desserts. And my Granny bakes frequently so this will help inspire me to bake more too.
Oh my dear! Love that frosting dripping off the sides. Which reminds me… I need to get some cute little lacey doilies and plates for my food pictures… anyone have any suggestions on local Austin shops one could find such treasures?
I couldn’t resist snapping a picture of this vintage food scale with these gorgeous tomatoes. Granny’s house is a wonderland of treasures.
My Granny keeps old recipes that she found in newspapers or on boxes of flour and such. Although Granny knows almost all her recipes by heart now, she still keeps these clippings filed away in an old cookbook.
With the internet I can’t remember the last time I got a recipe from anywhere else? Oh there was that time I made those decadent chocolate cupcakes with recipe off the Hershey’s Cocoa box.
Ok back to the cake… time to take a bite.
I asked Granny what her secret recipe is, with a sly smile she replied Duncan
Hines.
