I had a little virtual birthday party on my facebook page a couple of weeks ago to celebrate not only my birthday, but 5,000 facebook fans of an affair from the heart!
 
 
I had other foodies share cakes and drink recipes with me.
 
This was the first one I made!

  • Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes before topping with frosting.
  • Make the frosting while the cake is baking!!
  • For frosting, place butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil and let it boil for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Butter will turn a pretty amber color. Remove from heat.
