After three weeks on the road, the Crowbar Crew is back! Lot's of catching up to do on the homestead and of course Father's Day! @guntotnhippie wants cake but Crowbarmama hasn't gone grocery shopping to replenish the supplies. Will she be able to whip something up? Will there be cake? Will there be chaos and shenanigans? You'll have to watch to find out!
I found this super simple recipe on food52.com.
https://food52.com/recipes/63516-whole-wheat-butter-cake
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 cups Cane Sugar
2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter
5 Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
As usual, I tweaked the recipe, cutting the sugar to 1.5 cups and increasing the salt to 1.25 tsp and also using salted butter rather than unsalted. The next time I make this cake I will cut the sugar down to 1 cup. It was still pretty sweet for us.
I was lucky to find leftover frosting in the freezer. One was a gluten free cooked frosting, the other was a vegan chocolate ganache. Both recipes can be found in this old post.

It was a busy day on the homestead. No time for anything fancy, but that doesn't mean we sacrifice taste!
I also made sure to have a treat for Wildstyle, my child with the allergies. I cheated a little bit with a storebought allergy-friendly cheesecake which we also topped with a bit of the chocolate ganache.
