Tonight was one for the books. The birthday tradition is a meal of the birthday person's choice, a movie of their choosing for Family Movie Night, and a cake of their choice. After making mama's famous meatloaf, I decided to try baking a home birthday for the first time in my life. I used my starter (The Beast who I have named Ragnar Loafbrook). My son's birthday is this weekend, so we celebrated tonight by baking a homemade chocolate cake and made peanut butter icing that nearly tastes identical to a Reese's peanut butter cup! Needless to say, not a single person in my family of 7 had a complaint. Going from the "Muffin Incident of '23" to a fluffy, most beautiful chocolate cake is already making me feel more confident in my baking! Tomorrow, I have a whole day of baking ahead with more of my discard (respectively named Flour Child).
So far, I have made -
Butter crackers
Blueberry coffee cake
Chocolate chip cookies
Reese's cake
Happy baking, y'all 🍞🎂🍪🧇
A happy midwestern mama
