Birthday sheet cake from Barefoot Contessa Family Style: Easy Ideas and Recipes That Make Everyone Feel Like Family (page 216) by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • anya_sf on January 23, 2020

    I made 1/2 recipe in a 9"x13" pan. I think the full recipe would have overflowed a sheet pan unless the sides were higher than standard. The cake rose while baking, but then sank so the top was level, making it easier to decorate. I removed the cake from the pan after cooling, prior to frosting. The frosting was delicious and easy to make, although you must really wait for it to cool before beating. The cake had a soft, dense texture, and a pleasant flavor. It wasn't exciting on its own, but was a fine vehicle for frosting. The frosting tended to peel off the cake during cutting. The finished cake kept well in the refrigerator.
