Angel Food Cake

Published on December 19, 2019November 15, 2019 by Susie @ Kirby's Kabin Blog1 Comment

I can remember the first time I made this recipe… I was so proud of myself because it turned out so well. The recipe scared me because it seemed to go against everything I had learned about baking… a cold oven and an ungreased pan. I’ve had this recipe for quite some time and I believe it came out of a very old cookbook that we had in the kitchen when I was growing up.

This is really rather simple to make and you can save the egg yolks to throw in some scrambled eggs for breakfast. This is extra delicious when you pair it with some fresh strawberries but I think any fruit would probably be good with it.

Creamy Maple Frosting

This would be good over just about any cake but my favorite is over a simple vanilla cake. I normally use my stand mixer for making icings but a good hand mixer would work well too. Continue reading “Creamy Maple Frosting” →

Cake in a Mug

This is a recipe that my oldest daughter brought home one day to add to our recipe box. She loved making these as often as she could and I loved to try them out when she made them. Cakes in a Mug are great for when you have a sweet tooth but don’t want to make a whole cake.

Who doesn’t love pound cake? Seriously, if you don’t enjoy pound cake then I don’t know if we can be friends… just kidding. Here is a classic recipe that always pleases the crowds!

You could probably experiment with extracts to get different flavors and try a simple glaze (confectioner’s sugar, milk, and optional flavoring) for a little something extra.

I don’t rightly remember where this recipe came from but I do know that my little brother loved it when he was just a little thing… so it’s been around for a while now. You can use this Homemade Buttercream Icing to frost it or give it just a sprinkle of powdered sugar or leave it plain.
