I'm an August baby, a Leo, and recently celebrated my birthday, so I'm posting a gold cake recipe from my Searchlight Recipe Book. One of my aunts decreed several decades ago that birthdays should be celebrated for an entire week, so I'm still celebrating! :-) You can imagine that all of us kids LOVED it! But it's great now that we are adults too -- takes away a touch of the bitter-sweetness of getting older -- although I try to be like a good wine, and get better with age! I haven't baked this cake, but I've baked quite a few recipes from this cookbook and they were all good, so I'm feeling confident that I can still post this recipe for you to use.
I've been trying out McKlinky for several weeks. It's a little bit to make things easier for YOU, so you don't have to wait even one minute for me to add you to these posts. Many of you are familiar with Mr. Linky, and this is very similar. It's also a little bit for ME, because I'm slowly recovering from an arm injury which is making typing painful. I'm asking you to please help me out by adding yourselves to McKlinky, at least for now. Don't forget to give me feedback about whether or not you like using it. If you like it, we could keep it even after I am all well. Thanks! :-)
