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.

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.
