Reflections on Photo Sharing


It was fun to do the blog about my cats. It is fun to share something that you are really proud of - like my cats. However, it was a hard assignment. I did set up a Flickr account. But I couldn't get my photos from Flickr to go on my blog so I took them from my computer.

It is kind of disappointing to me that more people haven't commented on my blogs. I hope people are visiting. So I thought like in any meeting if I brought food maybe they would come. So I have brought cake-well a recipe anyway! I did bring this cake to work a few weeks ago and told Kelli I would bring the recipe-so Enjoy!



Buttermilk Cake with Caramel Icing -originally in Taste of Home magazine Aug./Sept. 2007
1 cup butter softened
2 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk

Icing: 1/4 cup butter cubed, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 cup powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition (batter will be thick).
Pour into greased and floured 10 inch fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 for 45 - 50 minutes until toothpick
inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely.

For icing, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool for 5 - 10 minutes. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Drizzle over cake. Yield: 12 - 16 servings.
