I needed cupcakes rather than the cake so I reduced the baking time by 15 mins and turned the pans halfway through. These had a lovely mild flavour and were well liked by my family. I substituted cream cheese for the frosting as we prefer it over butter cream, so I didn't have the opportunity to try your brown butter icing. Thanks for a lovely recipe.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
