{in the kitchen} A Family Attempt at One Bowl Apple Cake

Source: mayamade.blogspot.com via Ashley on Pinterest

To round out our first week of school, I thought a little “cooking school” would be fun.  The boys are always begging to help in the kitchen, so I sifted through my “to bake” recipes and found this gem: One Bowl Apple Cake.  In theory, it’s the perfect recipe for baking with little people.  One bowl.  Easy ingredients.  Easy peasy.  I couldn’t wait for our special baking session.

HAH.  Oh man.  Let’s just say, when you have an overtired baby attached to your hip and two over-eager kids fighting to help, cooking is more than just cooking…it becomes an experience!     

The cake was definitely good, but because of all of the above mentioned craziness, I didn’t watch the last few minutes and almost burnt the whole thing.  Nothing a little (or a lot) powdered sugar won’t fix!  The boys were so excited with their creation. Their giddiness make “cooking school” totally worth it, so I know we’ll be baking together again soon. 

I’m definitely going to make this cake again…all by myself!
