1. Waiting, waiting, and yep, still waiting, until I got my wedding photos so I could put millions of picture up for your viewing entertainment. I've stopped holding my breath on that one.
2. Waiting until I finished my Spanish test. Took it today. Check.
3. Waiting until I finished my piano test. Completely bombed it, but still, check.
4. Waiting for some free time. Ah yeah.
So here I am. I've been cooking like crazy lately, so I will share some things with you.
This was divine. And I don't use that word lightly because it makes me sound like a drama queen. But honestly, anything with this much sugar has to be good.
Enjoy.
Cake:
- 3 cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) real butter, melted
Topping:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) real butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional... aka throw this out. nuts are disgusting.)
Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla. Once combined well, slowly stir in the 1/2 cup melted butter. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the 2 sticks of softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and pecans until well combined. Drop evenly over cake batter by the tablespoonfuls and use a knife to marble/swirl through the cake.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out nearly clean from center.
- Place powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.
