When I have time and energy, I love to cook and bake from scratch. I work full time, and so most days I cook simple meals. Once in a blue moon, I bake. Today, I just had to make a cake. My husband Don had to go in to work, and it's Sunday. He needs a treat when he gets home! And so do I.
I have three favorite cookbooks: Joy of Cooking, Betty Crocker and The Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. I love other cookbooks, but these are the three I turn to most.
So I found a recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook that called for ingredients I had in the house (living in the country means a 15-minute drive to the store): Apple Cake with Caramel Frosting. Oh man, those chunks of baked apple in the cake, and homemade caramel frosting oozing down the sides -- does anything taste better?
