At my office, we'll celebrate just about anything. Hello, National Pie Day, anyone? I alone orchestrated an inter office pool regarding what flavor of pie(s) we should buy from the one and thee only Hoosier Mama Pie Company here on Chicago and Ashland Ave.

Licks lips.
Anywho, our co-worker and friend, Jeremy, is about to kiss goodbye to his bachelor days. Clearly, this is cause for celebration. To commemorate his bachelorhood, I made a cake that screams manly man, a real grooms cake....
Lemon Supreme Sour Cream Dream.
Turns out you can turn any cake into a sour cream cake. Why do you even WANT sour cream, you ask? Because it's good. It's totally, without a doubt, 100% better than your cake. Srsly.
Allow me to show you, in picture form.
 |
| Easy peasy ingredients. Lemon cake mix, lemon pudding packet, eggs, light sour cream & water. |
 |
| Pour cake mix into the mixer. |
 |
| Add in pudding mix. |
 |
| Add a dollop of Daisy (lol) light sour cream or any sour cream, for that matter. |
 |
| 1/2 cup of water . |
 |
| Add four eggs. Crack 'em up, split 'em open. |
 |
| Okay, surprise surprise. I use egg whites instead. So, egg whites the equivalent of 4 eggs (i.e. 8 whites). |
 |
| Mix, mix, mix! Until smooth, of course. |
 |
| Grease up your pan w/ Crisco. |
 |
| Add in a handful of flour. |
 |
| Pan is all set to go! |
 |
| mmmmm Lemon Supreme Sour Cream Dream... (and yes, I know I need to clean my oven. Get over it) |
Wish I could say I was a top notch blogger and had the final picture, but it was devoured pretty quickly when I took it to work and assembled with fresh strawberries. Blink and you miss it!
But I did save a piece in cupcake form for my boo and me...
Making any cake a sour cream cake:
- 1 box of cake mix
- 1 complimenting (low sugar) pudding mix
- 4 eggs (or egg white equivalent)
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 cup of low fat sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together all at once until smooth on medium speed.
Pour into greased pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes OR until lightly brown on top.
did you know? to get one egg's worth of egg white, you need the whites of TWO eggs.
Until next time...
