Today my sister and I made banana walnut cupcakes. It's the Lord's day, he would have wanted it this way. First thing is get the ingredients. Typically when baking, mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then together. Also, eyeball it. I'm not a chemist, I don't measure things like you're supposed to. I error on the side of sugar and butter. If it looks to dry, add a tsp. of milk.

Banana Cake
1 1/2 cups ripe bananas (2)
2 tsp. lemon juice
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped walnut

Bake the cake or cupcakes at 350 for 15-20 min or until gold. Let cool.

Buttercream Frosting
1/2 cup Crisco
1/2 cup butter
1-2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbl. spoons milk

After the cupcakes cool, ice them. Then eat them. Then be happy.

Tonight my sister and I made cinnamon roll cake. It's absolutely delicious and therefore very bad for you.

We used a really old recipe we found in a cook book that looked like it survived the nuclear Holocaust. Rather than write the recipe I just took a picture of it. Ariel wouldn't do it justice.

Use that recipe for the dough and then let it rise for 2 hours. Then roll it out flat, make sure to use lots of flour since it is a sticky dough. Once rolled into a long rectangle lightly coat it with butter. Then sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar. In a ziploc bag smash your favorite nuts. We used pecans. Sprinkle pecans on as well. Then we poured on chocolate chips too, because hell why not? Carefully roll it up into a look tube. Turn the tube into a circle then cut openings around it. Pre-heat oven to 375. Place on greased cooking sheet and cook for 30 min.

Let cool and then ice. We used a simple butter, powedered sugar, vanilla, milk icing recipe. Melt half a stick of butter, add teaspoon of vanilla and mix. And 1-2 cups powedered sugar and enough milk to get the thickness you want. For a glaze probably 1-2 table spoons.
