It worked quite well. except luckily I had buttermilk powder, because I didn&#39;t need the extra liquid.<br /><br />I made it for DH, who had wanted to buy a boxed mix for s&#39;berry cake a couple months ago. He grew up on that kind of food and often doesn&#39;t like the taste of real food. I was delighted to wake up this morning and find it 3/4s gone (I made only a half recipe). I guess he liked it!AnnMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-58102081504602664192009-05-07T13:45:00.000-07:002009-05-07T13:45:00.000-07:00Her preference for pink not withstanding, L-girl is thankfully a chocolate-holic! Perhaps there's a pink (chocolate) velvet cake in our future??<br /><br />I like the book swap idea though, as all our playgroup kids' birthdays are coming up this June.<br /><br />Hugs and kisses to E-girl (and the rest of the family) from the Montana crew...Alfiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14557387834747804011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-56666521286827212122009-05-06T17:45:00.000-07:002009-05-06T17:45:00.000-07:00The cake looks amazing!

Looks just like it came out of the Hungry Caterpillar! And just in case the beets don't work, the natural dyes from India Tree actually make a pretty good pink!Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00145567881766163189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941312662522172460.post-82342950996494812142009-05-06T13:40:00.000-07:002009-05-06T13:40:00.000-07:00Boo-tiful!

I can just imagine the excitement at your house around 8:40am - stir the frosting! put on your shoes! where's my backpack? stir the frosting!<br /><br />The cake looks scrumptious and if it makes any difference, I'm on board with your trade-offs.Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09575172683862762880noreply@blogger.com
