I made a GF/DF spice cake from Full Circle - which turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself. :) The best part for me though was the frosting that I made from scratch! I always thought frosting where really hard, so I have avoided that part of the Betty Crocker cookbook. But I was craving something sweet, and spice cake does not taste good without frosting or whip cream, in my opinion. The frosting turned out great, but really sweet, so be careful. I am posting the recipe as well too. It sure won't help me in getting my girlish figure back since having Gordon, but I think a treat is always a good thing, especially for a new momma.
Enjoy!
