The prompt: In your photo this week, focus on the win, the victory — that moment of glory and pride you’ll remember forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t bake often, almost never, but when I do it’s never been from scratch… until last year when I wanted to surprise my daughter with a homemade cake that I had baked.  I wrote this post on my other blog and thought I would share it here today as my ‘victory’ challenge :)

I decided to make a pound cake in a bundt pan. I mixed all ingredients, well, except for one which I couldn’t find in the pantry and figured it wasn’t all that important … how much of a difference could a tsp of baking powder make anyway.

I even melted some chocolate to add to the pound cake…  thought it would give it some oomph and who doesn’t like at least of dash of chocolate in a cake.

Into the oven it went and then it was only a matter of waiting to see if it would come out of the cake pan in one piece !  Yay… it did.

Maybe the baking powder would have made it a little taller but I like to think of it as a petite pound cake.

The victory cake complete with candles :)
