My close friend, Myra, recently celebrated her birthday at Liberty--a Capitol Hill bar known for their vast whiskey selection and handcrafted cocktails. I took on the task of making her birthday cake. I find that cake can be a very difficult dessert to master-- most people are very particular about their cake. I ended up referring to Smitten Kitchen's "Best Birthday Cake" recipe. I made a few adjustments by adding raspberry filling and toppings. Overall, the cake turned out great. Good ol', reliable Smitten Kitchen provided a cake recipe that I would definitely use again!
