CAKE LOG: LET'S FUCK WITH THIS RECIPE, NOW

CHANGE LOG: MADE A HALF RECIPE BECAUSE NOW WE ARE DOING SOME SCIENCE, CHILDREN.

Ingredients

Wet

1 ½ sticks butter

1 c white sugar

3 eggs

Dry

1 ½ c all-purpose flour

½ tsp salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Other

½ c milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

11 tsp lemon juice 

Summary: Highlights are changes that are more or less than halved.  

Method Notes:

• Whipped this one more than usual. Turned mixer up and left it even as I was measuring things in. Made the cake fluffier and lighter. Eggs did cause peaks, so I whipped it at least that much.
• Switching out the shortening for all-butter really improved the taste.
• That much lemon juice is still only giving it a faint hint of lemon. More next time.
• Possibly add ¼ cup of sugar next time, cake was a little not-sweet-enough.
• Very fragile and difficult to cut, not sure how to make cake sturdier? Sugar? Less baking powder? Was the shortening making it sturdy?
• Oldies music while making batter increases betterness of cake.Especially Beach Boys.
