6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL January 20, 2016 Cook's Corner A t our house, January is a good month. It’s my birthday! I was born on Jan. 13, but the celebration usually starts later. Most everyone (myself included) is so tuckered out from December festivities they don’t know what to do with a January birthday. “Birthday? Betty has a birthday? In January? Omigosh!” Actually, my birthday month is kind of fun. I’ve learned to love getting greetings all month long. Besides, belated cards are the funniest ones on the rack. So the way I look at it, the celebration may start a little late but it also lasts longer. I milk it for all it’s worth. I just have two rules: I don’t plan my own party, and I don’t bake my own cake. Nei- ther of which anyone pays much attention to. After all, most of my family is 1,000 miles away and doesn’t even know it’s my birthday until it’s over! So I break half of my own rules and bake my own cake! I love a good cake. Preferably homemade and chocolate. Except on my birthday. As a child, my mother always made me a butter- milk cake with boiled frosting. I still smack my lips when I think about it. I have her recipe (it follows) but somehow mine never tastes as good as hers. I think the child- hood memories of coming home to a fresh cake covered with coconut, just for me, are sweeter than the cake. I also like moist, fruity and nutty cakes. Not a dense, chewy fruitcake (like my hus- band adores) but something more the con- sistency of a spice cake. That love affair started at Kaiser’s Country Diner, where once a week my dessert special would be carrot cake. The recipe below makes two 9X13-inch cakes but is easily divided. It also has sweet memories and the recipe is written on a splattered card in my own shorthand. You’ll like it. A few years ago I tasted a pineapple pecan cake that was mouthwatering good. Unfor- tunately, I didn’t get that recipe. However, I got close. Leafi ng through an old Southern Living magazine, I was introduced to what they call “the ultimate recipe for Humming- bird Cake.” The review said that it was their most requested cake recipe and receives rave reviews. Try it and see what you think. Happy Birthday 2016 everyone! Cel- ebrate with cake!
