A few days ago, a cousin of mine visited and stayed for a while along with her 9-year-old daughter. Her job brings her everywhere, and this includes out-of-the-state and out-of-the-country places. She and her husband both have demanding jobs and they rarely see their their little girl anymore. Whenever she has the opportunity to bring her daughter with her, she always takes it.
For the week that they were with us, I was the one who took care of my niece. She’s a behaved young girl and is quite the bookworm. So give her a book and she’s all settled.
It’s quite nice to watch her and my sons doing different things, but staying together at one side of the living room. They were all behaving and just doing their own things. I decided to reward them by baking them a cake that they could eat for their afternoon snack.
I decided on a simple pound cake since it was a weekday and I didn’t have much time to bake something complicated. It’s a recipe that I found over at Marie’s Cuisine. It’s made with cream cheese and vanilla bean.
They all loved the cake, even asking for another slice. They said it doesn’t taste so sweet and it’s so moist! They ate theirs with a cup of milk, while I ate mine with a cup of coffee.
