Prism’s Birthday Blog Hop
In honor of Prism Book Group’s third birthday, we’re holding a blog hop! Several Prism authors are giving readers the chance to win big prizes and collect great recipes! We’re sharing great birthday cakes and other desserts. You can visit all the stops, or just the ones you’re interested in. To be entered in the $100 gift card, please sign up with the Rafflecopter below. Follow the blog hop for other great prizes, fun, and recipes!
If you comment on this site, you will be entered in a drawing for a box of Alaska Wild Berry Chocolates! (Please include your email or other contact info.)
Since I’m interested in Alaska history, I had to borrow my recipe from a vintage cookbook, A Collection of Choice Recipes compiled by the Anchorage Womans Club in Anchorage Alaska in 1921, reprinted by the club in 1990. And because my novel Fools Gold will be released in December, I chose the Gold Cake. Enjoy!
Gold Cake
Cream 1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar added slowly
Beat 1 whole egg and 4 yolks until light
Add extracts of 1-3 almond
1-3 vanilla and beat well
Alternate 1/2 cup milk with 1 3/4 cups flour sifted with 2 teaspoons baking powder and beat quickly. Bake in oblong pan in moderate oven [350 degrees] 20 to 25 minutes.

A gold cake?! I’ve never heard of such a thing. The recipe is funny, though. Those vintage cookbooks and recipes are so much fun to look at.
I love the header on your blog. Are all of your books set in Alaska?

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this month. I can’t take her on a trip to Alaska, but a box of chocolates would score me some great points…at least that’s what she tells me!
