I, as many of you know have a serious Pinterest illness. I can spend hours pinning various items. I will be honest that most of my posts are for DIY and home decor things. My “Yumminess” board has a few recipes on it that are new to me. Some I have tried and some I have not. Since today has been a rainy day and the boys have been playing nicely together I thought I would try a few recipes on my board… I had the ingredients already here.
Let’s just say that after reading the reviews on both of these I thought I would give them a try. I recognize that the first ones I made with a non diet soda (maybe that plays a role?!). Let me just say that I thought they were kind of gross. Zeke came in and asked if he could try them and I let him. He took one bite of each and ran to the bathroom to wash out his mouth. He came back to the kitchen and said, “Mom, you really are not a good cooker of these. Don’t make them ever again.”
My complaints are these…
The first ones… the yellow cake a soda – they were too crumbly, all I could taste was the cake batter – it was like it never got fully mixed (although I mixed thoroughly).
The second ones… the angel cake with blueberries – I read that I could do them in cupcakes but it was nasty. They didn’t fully cook even though the tops were brown… it was fully cooked but not really – weird I know. They were not too horribly bad but I can say that I won’t be trying them again.
