It was my cousin's birthday and naturally he asked for a cake in the shape of a lightning bolt. It turned out pretty well. We added some cupcakes as clouds, and cut a sheet cake in pieces to form the lightning bolt. My grandmother made the sheet cake and I made the cupcakes.
This may be the best yellow cake recipe I have made so far. Shocker, it was from Rose's Heavenly Cakes. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Recipe:
Mix in a separate bowl:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons sour cream (from the 2/3 cup sour cream)
In the bowl of a mixer:
2 cup cake flour
1 cup sugar
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
2/3 cup sour cream
Uh ... where was my cake?
