I like to bake. What? You didn’t know this? Problem is, we don’t eat all I bake. Both my hubby and will have a little to try, then the rest goes stale waiting around. (Except for a few things that don’t take long to be gobbled up) : ) Luckily, Amelia’s therapist and Jared’s co-workers and various friends are always good about taking it off our hands so I don’t have to feel wasteful and can keep experimenting in the kitchen.
These were the perfect baking project. They were so cute! I threw some in the freezer and they were even better frozen so there wasn’t any waste. (Plus they were super cute in little boxes for friends too).
Who could resist these cuties?
For the cakes:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 T unsalted butter, at room temp

1/2 cup sugar

2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 T milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup mini chocolate chips
