Company Bake Off

Every year, Hank's company has a Christmas party that includes a bake-off with cash prizes. We try so hard every year to place! A couple of years ago, we came in fourth with a chocolate peanut butter pie. This year carrot cake, red velvet cake, and peanut butter pie were not allowed. That made it more interesting to me!

So I made A Chocolate Buttermilk Cake, which was a recipe that my grandmother had... I'm not sure just how far back this recipe goes, but it is rich and good! But this one wasn't the winner.

Denis Phillips made an Ooey Gooey Cake. This one is a cakie cream cheesy with pecan kind of dessert. She made the decision to make this one on the day of the contest, so she got up early and started baking. Even though she cut it close, she ended up entering this one cause it was still warm and, well, ooey gooey.This one came in second place with a $400 prize!! Go Denise!!

I plan to post these recipes on the recipe blog once I get this one fully updated!
