This weekend we celebrated my Granddad's 83rd birthday! The (delicious) dinner theme was Mexican! I think I ate my weight in guacamole. No kidding. I made refried beans from scratch and this cake! I'm a BIG fan of cream cheese anything, but turn it into a frosting...yes, I'm in. I am not, however a fan of super sweet frostings. This, to me is THE perfect frosting. Not too sweet, with a good amount of tang from the cream cheese. This is a 3 layered cake with just a hint of orange mixed with a deliciously moist vanilla cake.
In the words of my aunt Vicki, "This is the best cake I have ever eaten in my life."
Enough said.
Happy Birthday, Granddad.
