She requested pizza and chocolate cake for her birthday this year. I need a LOT of pizza to feed this crew (already!) so I opted for doing a homemade one. Tabitha and Wyatt really enjoyed helping me to top it with mozz cheese, pepperoni, tomato slices, chopped green pepper, and pineapple tidbits.
Then I made my favourite chocolate cake recipe, from one of my all time favourite cookbooks, ever, given to me by Grandma Bailey. It's called "The Best Little Cookbook in the West" by Irene Mclaren, and it truly is! I did a double batch of this cake, baked it in two 9"X13" pans, and did up a custard filling, which I sandwiched between the two layers.
I used the frosting recipe from the same cookbook, but added a little milk to thin the chocolate part.
Everyone agreed it was one of the best cakes I've made! And Tabitha sure enjoyed getting to decorate her own cake!!
Table for three! Enjoying their pizza!
