Do you love to bake? Christmas is probably my most favorite time of the year because I love to make all the different desserts. When my boys were little, they enjoyed sampling all of my baked goods. I love to package it all up in cute little tins and give it away for Christmas. I remember going to my grandma’s house and finding these Christmas tins filled with peanut brittle, fudge, and fruit cake. Don’t wait to make new memories with your family!
One of my favorite cakes that my grandma made was her Baby Food Cake. My mom also made this cake for us girls when we were younger. So today, I am sharing my favorite memories that began in the kitchen starting with my favorite recipes.
I think what makes Baby Food Cake so yummy are the spices and of course the baby food. My mom always used plum baby food but you can use other flavors such as apples or even apricot. Don’t wait to make new memories with your family!
