This weeks recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie was super easy and very tasty: two thumbs up!! The Rum-Drenched Vanilla Cakes were picked by Wendy of Pink Stripes.
I took the cake to work and forgot to take pictures when I set them up, so by the time I finally remembered that I still had to photograph the cake there was only half a slice left!!
The only problem I had with this cake: there wasn't enough of it!!! I should have never halved the recipe!!
The recipe can found over at Pink Stripes. Go visit the LYL to see what my fellow TWD-ers thought of the Rum-Drenched Vanilla Cakes.
An empty plate is always a good sign... and the last piece always hangs around the longest people no one wants to take the last piece.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis was VERY good. Definitely a repeat here. But with GOOD rum next time. Yes, 1/2 recipe just isn't enough.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYea, I'm your first comment on the vanilla cake! I was going to make this tonight and had to go to a funeral viewing instead so no TWD for me this week. Your cake must have been really tasty to have gotten eaten up so quickly. I was excited to try this and will have to make it soon. Maybe for the weekend coming up.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo glad you enjoyed it! And isn't half a cake slice better than no cake at all? ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI made half also. You are fortunate, you shared it. This one was just for us.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe second photo shows how delicate it can appear. There is something about that picture, I love.
Always better to leave them wanting more, I say. Must have been delicious!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI rarely half the recipe.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSomeone will always eat it.
It looks like you got a perfect crumb! Yum!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is one great looking half slice in the close-up, no wonder it disappeared so quickly. It was great, with or without the rum!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlooks yummy and very moist!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlooks so nice and moist!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlol, i hope you learned your lesson and never again cut a dessert recipe in half!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm glad everyone enjoyed it. It was a good cake. Glad you got a picture of it before it was all gone!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour photo of the one lone piece made me laugh. I knew just what had happened. This recipe's a definite keeper!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt was very popular at my work too! I've got the other half in the freezer though. Thanks for baking along with me.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love it! Something about these photos looks so festive and "after the party"ish--the crumbs are like confetti.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNew rule: never cut a pound cake recipe in half. That will serve us in good stead for the rest our our lives.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI also wish I had not halved the recipe! Next time I will bake two loaves! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, you know it's a hit when you hardly get a photo! I made half and sort of wish I'd made an extra to have in the freezer.
