The Kid's First Birthday!

Today our kid turned ONE! We had family and friends over to celebrate with a sweet potato bar and biscuits for lunch, and apple cake & ice cream for dessert. It was all super yummy :-D

Wanted to post the cake recipe before I forgot it, because I made many adaptations. I think the batter itself could be adapted with all kinds of fun flavors...
