DINETTE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM

February is a sweet month...
it's all about love and valentine's, chocolates
and treating yourself on certain days...
this brought to mind all the delicious
snack cakes that my grandmother and mother
often made!
Often, I would come home from school
and see that mother had made one of her
fabulous snack cakes for me....
She was so wonderful about that....always...

 A snack cake is a simple, single-layer cake, often baked in a  square pan, designed for casual, everyday eating as a small treat, rather than a formal dessert for special occasions. They are typically easy to make, sometimes from one bowl, with minimal fuss, and can be served plain or with a light glaze or dusting of powdered sugar, meant to be grabbed with your hands and enjoyed with coffee, tea, or milk. 

 Simplicity: Often made with pantry staples and one-bowl methods, requiring little prep.

Single Layer: Baked in a single layer, like a sheet cake, making it easy to cut and share

Casual & Anytime: Meant for everyday moments, afternoon breaks, or packing in lunches, not just birthdays.

I found this little gem the other day
and it is perfect for a smaller cake, uses basic ingredients
which are most likely in your pantry and it received rave reviews!
