Husbands Cake Without Eggs--You Won't Believe It.

My dear sweet husband was craving cake. I told him that we used all the eggs for deviled eggs and the desserts that we made for the holiday bbq. I couldn't get any at the store because it was closed due to today being Labor Day. He just had to have a cake. No he couldn't eat any of the desserts left over he had to have cake. I tell him, "If you want cake than you have to fix it. I am not going to make a cake without eggs after I have been baking all week and still have a ton of desserts left." He says fine then proceeds to make a cake. He gets the cake made and pops it in the oven and sets the timer. Timer goes off, but the cake isn't done. It won't rise and is real goey like it was half baked, but the top is a real pretty golden brown. He thinks he can fix this. (I'm sitting in the background reminding myself why I married this nut.) He sets the time for another 15 mins and turns the temp down so the top won't burn. The timer goes off. The top is a darker brown but not quite burned. And guess what!!!! The cake still hasn't rose and is still a goey, gummy mess. He gives up, dumps it in a bowl, and eats it with a spoon. I didn't say I told you so, but I should have. THe cake was so awful I didn't want to take pics to remind me. ROFL
LOL!! I'm sorry but that's just WRONG!!!!! LOL
Gotta love cake ![]()

What makes it even funnier is that he is diabetic and doesn't eat a lot of sweets. My 2 yr old wouldn't even touch it. It ucky is what she said. She is more used to what I make---real cake with real icing. He has been playing it cool for the rest of the day. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I think that I'll make him wait another day to see what happens, then throw it out without saying anything (it's in fridge now). Aren't I a sweet wife, but I think he learned his lesson.
Next time have him poor a can of Sprite or any Lemon-lime type pop in the batter. It makes a good white cake. Will have to ask to make sure but I think that is all my aunt did when she made it.
Tsk Tsk tsk !!!
that is just too sad.. did it taste good at least ? ![]()
I love the cake that is a box of cake mix mixed into a box of prepared cook and serve pudding (cooked with milk). Now that's a whole different class of cake than what I would make for a birthday.... I just refer to it as snack cake. I just sprinkle choc chips on top before baking and no frosting is needed.
But what a fun experience, one to tell the grandkids.....
Well ladies, I threw it out today. He admitted that he should have listened. He even called his mom to tell her what a mess he madeout of a boxed mix. She said "Cory with all those desserts, you wanted her to make a cake. Serves ya right." Go mom!!! Like I vowed not another word. My baby Cristin said ucky bye bye when she saw me trash it. Now thats a gal with taste. He sais it tasted good but we'll have to take his word for it,
Next time give him the recipe for mayonaise (need spell check on that one) cake anyway no eggs needed.
I got a stubborn other child (hubby) myself. Only he doesn't cook. Our kids don't like when dad is in charge of cooking. He burns grilled cheese. When dad is in charge my son who is 15 takes control and whips something edible up. Even my 7 yr old will grab a poptart or make herself a PB sandwich if Dad is in charge. That said the nights I have cake class are a challenge. Dad has to take DD to dance class and she is usually starving when she gets home. So when I get home about an hour after them she is "MOMMY I want FOOD NOW". Good thing I am almost done with classes, course 3 starts next week, 4more weeks. ![]()
glad and sad all at once. Good thing though they are going to have another class after 1st of next year. Instructor told us it will focus on flower more I think. ![]()
HUBBY'S GOTTA LOVE UM
