Cookin' the Books: Perin Family Buttermilk Cake
During the summers in Pennsylvania, if you saw Trigiani grandchildren running alongside the road, you knew Viola had them out collecting something. It was reminiscent of that scene in The Sound of Music in which the captain is driving home with the baroness (hiss) and sees all his children hanging from the big trees lining the roads. The only difference between us and the von Trapps is that they were having fun (151).
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
In a second bowl, mix the sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Combine, then measure out 1 cup and set aside.
Beat the eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk into the mixture.
My thoughts on the recipe: My husband and I both LOVE this cake. It's fantastic. It is more moist than most cakes, with a kind of cobbler/pudding cake consistency. I don't know how to describe it, but trust me, it's divine.
Grade: A

I just love Adriana Trigiani! I will have to check this out. What a wonderful combination -- cookbooks and Ms. Trigiani. I was afraid that I'd be disappointed, but with your wonderful recommendation....
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks and sounds wonderful. I'm sure it is so moist and dense. 3 sticks of butter. Yum! I'll have to watch out for this cookbook.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I love Adriana Trigiani's books I will have to find her cookbook! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Adriana Trigiani!!! I've read everything she's written and she's called my book club twice! Some of the members even went to Atlanta to meet her! Her cookbook is displayed in my kitchen. I agree that you feel like you are standing in the kitchen with her family. Thanks for sharing. Happy Reading! Bitsy
ReplyDeletePS ~ another cookbook with fun family info is Pat Conroy's. Book club went to see him in Atlanta as well and learned about it there. It's fun, too.
Thanks for this. I've joined the Soup's On Challenge, as well but haven't even picked out the books I want to read, yet. The buttermilk cake looks delicious!!
