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!
