Been reading Ree Drummonds blog...have you seen it?! Oh my goodness, a gorgeous woman, homeschooler, wife, cattle rancher, cook, author..tv personality!!!!(and not in that particular order) She has written a cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks...I've just ordered a copy from Amazon and it's winging it's way to me AS WE SPEAK!! ...actually probably swimming to me...taking 6-8 weeks to get here! who knows?!! but for twice the shipping cost I could have it in a week! (but twice the shipping was 3x the cost of the book!!! seriouslY!!!) So it's a lesson in patience for me...BUT in the meantime...i was seduced by her Chocolate Sheet Cake...FULL of butter..m..mmmm...and chocolatey goodness...whipped up in about 8 mins, cooked in 20, iced in 1 and in our mouths before you could say "a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips"..haha..so..ALL GOOD!! And it was(is)...scrumptious...warm from the oven, with warm frosting...aaaahhhhh....and then today with coffee...deliciously dense but not too rich...a really good cake that you can whip up for unexpected guests, then graze on it all week!! ...if there's any leftover at all...
Oozy goodness in the pan....(tiny lumps of icing sugar but never mind...didn't whisk it enough I was too anxious to gobble it up!)...
The warm frosting just dribbling over the edge ....
Couple pieces on the plate....(just for the photo, you understand...we didn't eat 2 pieces each!!) Seriously...google the recipe and have a go...you'll be glad you did...and so will everyone around you!! (perhaps not your calorie conscious friends!!) But hey...you only live once!!
If i can have only one vice...let it be BUTTER.!!(OK...chocolate and maybe coffee are the others!)
I just watched Julie and Julia again last night...LOVE that movie...it was what inpsired me to try my hand at blogging...but ahh, the butter - used with abandon! And the deliciousness of the movie...I so loved it...that could be a movie I could own, and watch several times...not many that I could. I can't wait to go to France...be still my heart...and patient my soul!
