Dallas-Fort Worth Babies

Okay, so I have never baked a cake from SCRATCH before...

The big cupcake is done!  The top is homemade banana cake (a Martha Stewart recipe, and you can bet she was roundly cussed several times - thank goodness my MIL came over and helped me) and the bottom is a box devil's food; I'm going to frost it (chocolate whipped) before we leave tomorrow because if I do it now it won't look nice when we get there.  As it is it may be a little squooshed from my cake carrier.  Can someone do me a favor and bring plates, napkins and silverware?  :D 

We had enough banana cake batter left over to make a whole separate cake - oh my god, it's GOOD.  Wow.  I was worried because I messed up the directions a little bit, but as MIL said it all eventually goes together anyways and it worked out.  For someone who's not very cooking-talented I did pretty good!

  • Yummy!! I can't wait to try it. Someone was talking the other day about a banana chocolate chip cake that a bakery in Dallas makes and it made really wish I had a piece.

    Good job on baking it homemade!! Everytime I've tried to make a homemade cake it has fallen.

    I'm not lying, I had to cut a good two inches off of each cake, it was hilarious!  The chocolate side looked like a chef's hat, hee.  :)  I thought about adding chocolate chips to it, but then I forgot in the mess of things (and let me tell you, it was a mess.  I really need deeper mixing bowls, ugh).

  • Oh my word that sounds so good! 
  • Mmmm, that sounds delicious! ?I just made some cream cheese/salsa tortilla roll ups. Easy peasy, compared to your homemade cake!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I can also bring the paper plates

    ETA: the cake sounds yummy!!

  • Mmmm... I can't wait to try it.

    (All these gtgs can't be good for the waistline.)

  • Yummy! I can't wait.   I baked up the cookie-dough brownies but I may have overbaked them Sad.  I did a double brownie batch b/c I screwed up and got a mix that was smaller than the average mix... the center would not get done so I have a feeling the outsides will be rock-hard!  Good thing there will be tons of other sweets!
  • Avery i am loving the new siggy!

  • Ok, we had some here so I thought I would bring them, but since you specifically bought them, I will keep mine for next time!!!
