My mom helped me to make my first pound cake

​I’ve stepped my baking game up a notch. I made a cake! First ever from scratch. Thank goodness I had my mom by my side. I’ll say it again, baking has never been my thing. I’m challenging myself to step out the box. I found a recipe for a Champagne Pound Cake aspire. tv/recipes/champagne-pound-cake/  while browsing  Instagram. 


I sent it to my mom and my oldest sister, the bakers of my family. They approved the recipe. After a few days of going back and forth with myself, I committed to baking the cake. My original plan to bake my cake at home fell through when I remembered that I did not have a paddle for my hand-me-down Kitchen Aid. So, option B left me to baking the cake back home in Virginia. Best decision ever. My mom, who has been baking cakes since before I entered this world, guided me in the process.   It was a great learning experience.  And out of it, a cake with slightly crumbled edges yet still  delicious, was born :). I made one minor change to the icing. The recipe calls for 12 cups of powdered sugar; I used 3 cups. I’m sure you could play around with it too.
