What a perfect way to spend time with the kids on snow days! Baking yummies. The Heavenly Cake Bakers are well ahead of me and I thought, not wanting to miss out on anything, I would play catch up and make some of the cakes I have missed. We start with the whipped cream cake. Supposedly easy and wonderful. My assistants and I did not find that so.
We all worked very hard on the Whipped Cream Cake.
Even, Oatmeal, the unknown animal friend..was looking forward to a piece of heaven.
Bummer!!! Amid disappointment in the final product we laughed. All of us.

The first problem I had was my mistake in making sure I had the correct pan size. It wasn't until I was pouring in the batter that I saw the 9x 1 1/2 mark on the edge and my heart flip flopped. OH NO! So I ran for the parchment to make the correct pan size. My cake did not dome in fact it sunk. That is okay, I will turn it upside down and no one will notice! Great idea...
Not so great. All the milk pooled in that space and therefore did not soak. Actually, it did soak-my favorite pink fuzzy slippers!!
Well, get whipped cream on the top and it'll be great. The topping would not get stiff and was runny. Total flop. The cake was a really weird texture and instead of being a wonderful texture with milk it just tasty soggy. It made a quick trip to the rubbish bin to meet a new friend, the Whipped Cream Cake.

Your girls are adorable - I bet they had a blast with mom in the kitchen.
May I ask why you didn't like the whipped cream cake?
