Winter, Shminter

It's here at last. I don't know why I was so anxious for it to get here, but my prayers were answered, proving that you should, in fact, be careful what you pray/wish/ask for. Brr!

It's just a little hard to be enthusiastic about dog walking when temperatures are low. I miss the farm, I suppose. Here's a recipe from Mrs. Sunderbergh for curing the lazy day winter blues:

Lazy Dazy Cake

Heat 1/2 cup milk and 2 T butter to a boil in small saucepan or microwave. Set aside.

Combine in bowl:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
Beat together until thick.

Add 1 cup flour, 1/4 t. salt, 1 t. baking powder,
and milk/butter mixture.

Mix well. Pour into an 8 X 8 lightly greased/floured baking pan.

Bake 30 minutes at 350. Remove when
cake springs back when touched. Set oven to broil.

While the cake bakes, melt together in pan on stove:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cream
1 cup coconut

Pour over cake when cake is done, spread evenly, return to oven, and broil until tips of coconut are browned.
Enjoy!
