No birthday cake but COBBLER
9 years ago
Mexiican Train group surprised me with birthday goodies, for my 78th, yesterday, Thursday.
Husband of friend came in with a fresh cherry cobbler for us to enjoy. Needless to say it was delicious.
Just sharing. Double crust and it was sooooo good.

Best ever breakfast birthday cake?
Comments (19)Elba, here are two more cakes that are easy to make. Both of these cakes get a lot of hits on my blog. Both these recipes come from Canadian Living Magazine. I've made them many times over the last 30 years. Blueberry Upside-Down Cake =========================== Can be made in a square or rectangle pan or round. Source: Canadian Living Magazine, August 1983 Often called gateau aux bleuets or pouding aux bleuets, this cake and its many variations are popular in Quebec. Taken warm from the oven and turned upside-down, it becomes a delicious pudding to serve with whipped cream; left in the pan to cool, it becomes a cake. Add cinnamon it you like a pleasant spiciness; omit for a plain white cake. 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 cups blueberries (fresh or Frozen) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 3/4 cup milk In 9 inch square cake pan, combine melted butter and brown sugar;spread evenly on bottom. Spread blueberries evenly over top. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift or mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon if using. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Spread batter evenly over blueberry layer. Bake in 350ðF oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out on to large flat plate. Raspberry Cake ============== 1985 Canadian Living Magazine 1/2 cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sour cream 1 cup raspberries Heat oven to 350ðF In a bowl sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt. In another bowl beat butter and sugar until creamy and add eggs. Beat well. Add vanilla. Mix in flour and add sour cream. Fold in raspberries. Pour into 9 inch spring form pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until done....See MoreApple cake for birthday cake
Comments (2)My apple cake with the gravy, because it is very heavy with apples is not good as a layer cake, doesn't cut well and with 4 cups of apples, it's heavy!. But it is spectacular as a 9 by 12 cake....with gravy on each square....passed warm in a pitcher....with maybe a small scoop of vanilla ice cream....and the "gravy" over the top. You can probably cut 16 pieces out of one cake....but....it's also very good for breakfast!! I have used this one for a layered birthday cake....with a caramel frosting...or maybe a burnt sugar....I forget. I cut back a little on the nutmeg....I think 1 tsp is a bit much and for a layer cake, that recipe makes 2 8 inch layers. And I always use my own applesauce. When I am making applesauce, I reserve a cup and make this cake. Cake, Applesauce, mine 1 egg beaten 1/2 cup shortening�I use butter 1 cup of sugar 1 cup cold unsweetened applesauce 1 3/4 cups AP flour 1 tsp soda 3/4 tsps salt 1 tsp nutmeg 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon 1/4 tsp powdered cloves 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup raisins and nuts cut up�optional Sift together, flour soda, salt and spices Cream shortening, beat in sugar, beat in the egg and the applesauce and vanilla�.add the flour etc and pour into a greased 8 � by 11 pan and bake at 350 for 45 to 60 minutes�.until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean....See MoreBirthday cake size update
Comments (2)Yes, I've had that discussion with him many times. But all he does is complain non-stop about how he hates his condo and wants to move back into the house. He complains that he misses the house and then when I invite him over, he declines or comes over and realizes that it is making him sad. But then he is nonstop sad at the condo also. He complains that one thing makes him unhappy and if you take it away or get him the thing he said he wants instead, there is no relief, then that is the new source of his unhappiness. Yes, classic depression but he refuses treatment for it no matter how it is approached. He is just unhappy about all the time, but that is another OT story. I have tried many, many, many techniques and discussions and people and resources to try and help him. He's not bad enough functioning yet that I can take conservatorship of him and if I did that wouldn't solve any of the problems either, he would just be a combative ward with many more issues for me to try and deal with. At least this party was a successful distraction! He has good days and bad days. Also OT, living in the house makes me sad too, but I have to be here at least for a while to finish going through and taking care of all of my mom's belongings as well as any extra baggage of mine, before moving, if we do end up moving. The price of this house can't be beat....See MoreBirthday cake recommendation
Comments (8)I have baked the same cake our family prefers for birthdays for perhaps 50 years now. No one (but me) likes frosting, so they get it bare. It is a very moist, somewhat small chocolate cake that I bake in an angel food cake pan. When the kids went off to college, I started mailing it to them. Now they are settled and in their 40s, and I still mail them that cake, and their spouses and eldest grandchild. Bake a nice, heavy, moist cake, and wrap in well in Saran Wrap and a large plastic bag. Mail it in a box that is a nice, snug fit so that it can't bounce around at all--use packing bubbles if you need them. If you must include frosting, make it and put it in a little container to be smoothed on the cake when it arrives. A nice, moist, heavy pound cake would be good to mail too....See More- 9 years ago
