Girlfriend's Birthday Cake [baking]

I made my first cake completely from scratch tonight for my girlfriend's birthday, and it wasn't half bad! In fact, she liked it!

It was a chocolate cake with homemade vanilla cool whip frosting with a layer of fresh strawberries between the chocolate cake and strawberries on top; this was her "dream" cake, so I did my best with it.

I used the "Hershey's 'Perfectly Chocolate' Chocolate Cake" recipe for the cake, and then this recipe for the cool whip frosting.

Tomato Cream Sauce [recipes]

I recently posted a couple photos of my signature tomato cream sauce, and was asked to write out the recipe, so here it is!
Tomato Cream Sauce

1 garlic clove, chopped
½ onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped (optional)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
½ cup fresh parmesan cheese
basil, chopped (or parsley)(optional)
salt and pepper (to taste)
olive oil (or butter)

Saute garlic, onion, and basil in olive oil in medium saucepan until onions and garlic are nearly done. Add can of tomato sauce, let simmer for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, integrate thoroughly into tomato sauce mixture. Add fresh diced tomatoes now if desired.


Stir in handfuls of parmesan cheese, integrating fully with the sauce before adding more. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spinach also can be added to make a more hearty sauce.


Enjoy!

Vagina Muff-ins.

These muffins look delicious, and not only because they are vagina muff-ins. I want to try and make these sometime. Not having an oven makes the whole baking thing difficult.


What you'll need:

2 eggs, beaten

3 very ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Splenda

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease or line 10 muffin cups.

2. In a medium bowl, combine eggs and bananas. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, sugar and baking soda. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
