August's Cake

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

A little change of scenery...we're still in the States visiting family so August's cake was made and photographed at my parents house. It's my mom's banana cake recipe with cream cheese frosting. Yum. I'll post the recipe in the comments section later!

Also I think I've found my niche- mini cakes. You can't tell from the picture very well but this cake is mini- made from two six inch rounds. Definitely my new favorite thing- cake in miniature form!

  2. That sounds amazing! I'm not typically a cake person but I love baking banana breads, so I think I'll try this the next time I want to bake something . Do you know if a diary substitute like almond milk would work instead of the buttermilk?
