Cake Cravings

There is a hilarious scene in an episode of Sex and the City where Miranda makes herself a homemade chocolate cake. She starts off by eating one thin sliver of the cake and then walks away. The camera frame doesn't leave the kitchen the entire scene. You see her walk back into the kitchen just seconds later and help herself to another minuscule piece of the sinful treat. After she leaves the shot she is once again back within seconds and cuts herself a third helping. It is a brillant scene and my paragraph above does it little justice. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups butter, softened at room temp 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened at room temp 3 cups sugar 6 large eggs 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Preparation Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy (do not over beat); gradually add sugar, beating well.

Baba’s Lady Baltimore Cake… This is a very special, nostalgic cake for my family. It was my great-grandmother, Baba’s favorite go-to cake recipe. The Lady Baltimore Cake. It’s dainty, delicate, feminine and beautiful to look at. It starts with a light, tender white cake, filled with a delicate orange marmalade filling, spread with a fluffy marshmallowy frosting and sprinkled all over with sweetened coconut. Food is so powerful. (That’s Baba’s china my mom let me use in the pictures- we thought it only fitting!
