Apron Fun

Boosted by the ladies of Jenny's Gentle Domesticity group, I made time this evening to make an apron which had been on my mental to-do list for a long time. I don't particularly need and apron because I often use the ones I made my daughters make for themselves so they could learn to sew.

But then...this fabric came across my path and I couldn't resist it.

So it became my new apron.

And I put it on and made Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Cake, a family favorite.

Here's the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cream: 1 c. soft butter

             3 c. sugar

Add, and beat, one at a time: 6 eggs

Blend in: 1 c. sour cream

Mix in: 3 c. white flour

             1/4 tsp baking powder

             1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Blend well.

Add: 1 c. chocolate chips (I prefer semi-sweet.)

         3/4 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Bake in greased angel food or bundt pan for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool a little before removing from pan.

This is a heavy, filling cake that does not need frosting.

Enjoy!
