My son turned 18 last week. Yesterday he had a second celebration with a couple of friends at home so I baked a cake and made quesadillas for them.
The cake is a recipe from Martha Stewart and the quesadillas she showed how to make on a show many years ago and have become a staple that I make for parties. It is a great recipe since you can add many things depending on what you have available. I have made them with black olives, salsa, chicken, green onions and then you can serve them with sour cream, guacamole...you get the picture. Here is a video showing you how to make them except I heat up olive oil in the pan.
The cake I have made before, yellow cake with lemon curd filling and chocolate frosting. I did not make the lemon curd, it came from a jar, but the cake and frosting I followed the recipe.
I used to watch the old Martha Stewart show but I'm not a fan of her new one. I do still go to her website from time to time.

Lemon Cake

Yesterday I baked a cake, instead of cleaning the house. But let me plead my case...My youngest and I were spending most of the day alone since my husband took the oldest on a canoe trip. So when your 10 year old says: "Mommy, let's make a cake, we haven't made a treat in a long time", what could I do? I dropped everything and made a cake.
The recipe is Paula's Lemon Cake and it came highly recommended by Adrienne. Hers looks more beautiful than mine, but it is as good as she says. Today I invited my mom for afternoon coffee and cake, and both of us with the boys enjoyed a delicious piece of cake.
