Dominican Cake for Mom on Mother's Day

Dominican Cake for Mom on Mother's Day

Dominican Cake I made for my Mom for Mother's Day

Yesterday, I baked a Dominican Cake for my Mom for Mother's Day. My Mom turns 81 next month and she has a sweet tooth too. She taught me how to make this cake in February (see link to recipe below) and I thought it would be nice if I baked one for her. The only thing I added to the cake batter was 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and added that in with the vanilla extract and salt. I used yellow dye for the frosting for a change up. This cake has a rich texture and it is so delicious.

Mom was happy I made her a cake and she helped herself to two servings. I frosted the cake on the base of my cake caddy for convenience and it is more stable that way since I had to transport it to her place. Last time I baked a cake for my family (Easter), I placed the cake on a serving platter and then in the cake caddy and it was moving around a little though nothing happened thankfully.
