Baking When You're Not "in the Money"


Creole Cake


serves 12

1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups cake flour*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon hot cocoa mix**
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla








  1. I don't think I've ever seen We're in the Money. Their costumes are...quaint! Why is it called creole cake? Sounds yummy, by the way!

  2. It's really just that the frosting is called "Creole Butter Frosting." I guess because of the chocolate/coffee combination? The cake is just a "Calumet One-egg Cake," but I use Rumford baking powder instead of Calumet because it's aluminum-free. I know Daddy hasn't been able to find it in OKC, but you might tell him to try a health food store.

  3. Wow, I had no idea that pig latin figured into that song! Thanks for the découvert as well as the recipe!
