Today is my grandson Grayson's 7th birthday and in honor of his birthday I made a cake. Of course we're too far away to share it but I will enjoy it in his honor regardless! LOL!
He's the blonde on the left....this was taken while they were visiting in June. I didn't get many pictures....they were too fast for me! I sent a package (just this morning....I am so slow) and I called him to wish him a Happy Birthday....he was excited because he had gotten money for his birthday and he had decided he wanted a Harry Potter Lego set and they were going to get it after they got done making cupcakes. They're going to his other grandpa's tonight for dinner so he will have a great day.
The cake I made is a French style yogurt cake with lemon. It will get a simple lemon glaze after it is cool.
I got the recipe from Molly Weizenberg who used to have a blog called Orangette and that's where I got this recipe...............here
It doesn't look like she blogs anymore but there are lots of archives from 2004 with gobs of great recipes. I think she stopped blogging because she has written 2 books now also. I have one that I just started reading. It was on sale for .99 so I couldn't pass it up! It's called "A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes From My Kitchen Table". I love cookbooks with stories about the recipes and their makers.
I have to take Miss Peeps to the vet this afternoon for her yearly rabies vaccination and tomorrow I will take Grace. I only have 1 cat carrier. I hope you are staying cool, dry and smoke free where you live.
Happy Trails!!!
