I was very excited to find that my chocolate cake placed 3rd in the fair! All that late night frosting making and baking paid off. Well at least with the chocolate cake, the zucchini bread placed almost last, but whose counting.
 I have always said I wanted to enter something besides our sheep in the fair. This year I finally did it! I entered Zucchini Bread and Chocolate Cake (with cream cheese frosting).
The baking was judged this morning. We will find out when we go back to feed the sheep tonight now I did. Last night I did what every 28-year old woman does, Make frosting for my cake entry in the Coshocton County Fair. That's typical for my age group right?  This is my go to recipe for frosting. It is not too sweet but at the same time not too "cream-cheesy".
1/2 Cup Room Temperature Butter 1 8oz package of Room Temperature Cream Cheese 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups powder sugar On medium speed, cream butter, cream cheese and vanilla until light and fluffy. Then on low-medium beat in sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, fully incorporating between additions. Add until desired consistency and taste. |
