Patriotic cake bars and happy 4th of July….
Hi my friends,
I am wishing everyone a happy 4th of July today. We are not celebrating this day here in Germany but anyways I have made baked this pretty cake on the weekend. It is totally adorable and so machting with the colors of the flag. Precisley because it is so easy to make it would be a really nice desert for a BBQ.
The dough is the same as I make my sugar cookies with for Christmas but this time you put it all together into a pan. I am also sure the ingredients for this cake bars are sitting on the shelves in every kitchen.
For the dough you need:
– 175 gr. butter
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla
– 150 gr. sugar
– 330 gr. flour
– 1 tablespoon baking soda
– 1/2 tablespoon salt
– mix the butter and sugar first, add the eggs and vanilla slowly
– add the flour, salt and baking powder
– put the mixture into a baking pan (be sure to put a sheet of baking paper underneath)
– bake for 13 minutes at 190° C
– the dough has to be super soft and raw looking
– let it cool down before you add the frosting
For the frosting (this is something I make a little different every time I need one cause I use what I have):
– lemon zest
– cream cheese
– butter (room temperature)
– confectioners sugar
I didn´t meassure and in my opinion you don´t have to. Just make sure the frosting has the consistency and taste you like. I also put it into the freezer for about 15 minutes before spreading it onto the cake.
Now garnish with sprinkles or M&M´s or chocolate or whatever you like and you have one yummy and delish desert.
How I clean and maintain my make-up brushes….
I let them soak for about half an hour in warm water and also rinse with warm water after the cleansing process. I make sure all the surplus water is gone and lay them on a kitchen towel or and actual towel to dry. Take about a day.
I have listed the pad below along with some other options. Cheaper and pricier.
Overall it takes some time but the upsides are much more convincing cause your brushes are going to last longer and look fresh and new and also your skin might profit from clean brushes since you are not applying all the germs which are hidden inside the brush head.
2 patriotic looks for the 4th of July – dressy casual and sporty chic…
am sharing two great 4th of July inspired looks with you today. The
color combination red, blue and white always gets me and I also love to
wear it throughout the year. So for this years holiday look I have
styled two outfits depending on where you are headed to celebrate such an
important day in history.
Be sure to check back for an awesome U.S. themed cake on Wednesday. I am sure you have all the ingredients at home.
