really good white cake

Here is the white cake I baked for Peanut’s 24th birthday last August. It is Sally’s The Perfect White Cake.
How cute is Ethan with his three littles…Cooper and Ethan both have October birthdays. Seen here is the cake I baked for Monnie’s 86th birthday.

This afternoon, we will be celebrating three fall birthdays: Cooper, Connor, and Ethan, each of them born in the month of October. Later this week, Caroline and her family will be celebrating Liam’s 4th birthday in Andover, MA, with a race car-themed bounce house and a backyard class and family party.

This little guy will be turning 4 at the end of the week. He still loves race cars and now more specifically monster trucks.

While I’m not baking the cake for either of these celebrations, and I will desperately miss celebrating Liam on his big day this coming Friday, I’m still all about a good cake. Eldest daughter Caroline has been asking me about cake, too, as she wants to add a delicious white cake recipe to her repertoire.

Over the years, I’ve tried countless cake recipes. My current favorite and go-to white cake recipe is from Sally’s Baking Addiction, and it has proved to be practically foolproof and flawless. This is the recipe I have recommended to Caroline and to my sister Tracy in CA, who is a perfectionist, Sally’s The Perfect White Cake.

This is the white cake I baked while in the south of France for Maxwell and Lexi’s wedding celebration last September. Again, it’s The Perfect White Cake.
Here the leftover cake was served at the day after wedding brunch.

This cake has been my go-to white cake recipe for several years now. I even baked it as a wedding cake in France for Maxwell and Lexi last September. I baked it a few weeks ago for my mom’s 86th birthday. It is an exceptionally delicious white cake.

Everyone loves cake.

Thank you, Sally, for your baking recipes. Last week, I made your Classic Apple Crisp while in Andover, MA, for Caroline and her family, and that was a great hit, too.

Every day dress, a really good white cake.
