Baby Food Cake ~ Christmas Rapping
First up, let me show you this delicious cake that’s not only easy to make but also brings a smile to everyone’s face during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 1 jar (4 oz) baby food (carrot or sweet potato works best)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Nuts or raisins for added texture
Instructions
- Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease up a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby food, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until it’s nice and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some nuts or raisins for that extra crunch!
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out. Pop that bad boy in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a bit, then flip it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. You can frost it with your favorite icing or keep it simple with a dusting of powdered sugar.
There you have it, folks! A sweet treat that not only feeds your belly but also warms your heart. Perfect for gatherings or just a cozy day at home. Trust me, your family will love this cake just like mine does. Enjoy every bite!
