My Mom passed away before I was two, but as soon as I was old enough, I made everyone in my family a homemade birthday cake. Favorites were German Chocolate, Italian Creme, and Peanut Butter. I still make homemade cakes because the mixes just don’t taste the same.
I used to make peanut butter cake all the time!! I don’t think I’ve made it since all peanut butters were homogenized. Now, of course, one can find organic with no artificial ingredients, but since I live alone, I don’t bake very often.
And you’re right...homemade cakes are much better!
Oh my goodness! I haven’t had a peanut butter cake in years! I’ve got my mom’s recipe, written in her own hand. She died about 20 years ago. I think I will bake one in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for the reminder!
