My Dog Ate My Blog Post

I tried a new cupcake recipe last night and was going to blog about it today...the White Velvet Cake recipe from The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum.  I made an 8-inch cake with some of the batter so that I could experiment on a larger scale.  The cupcakes turned out great with a delicious flavor & a very delicate crumb but dense texture (great combination).  Quick & easy to make too! 

When I make a new recipe, I usually cut the cake in half and freeze one half and wrap the other half up and leave it on the counter - just to see if the cake dries out the next day and after it has been frozen.

However...after the cake and cupcakes had been wrapped and stored in a Ziplock bag, the washing machine beeped so I left the kitchen for just a few minutes to get the clothes.  I looked up just in time to see my dog eating the cake and the cupcakes that were on the counter.  Thank goodness he can't open the freezer. 

So stay tuned.  I am going to make the recipe again tomorrow, but this time I will lock up the cupcakes and throw away the key!
