Thunder Cake š©š°
Not sure if youāre familiar with the beloved childrenās author, Patricia Polacco, but sheās a fave at our house. Her book, Thunder Cake, has invited a forever tradition into our home. The book is about a little girl (the author) making it through a thunderstorm by gathering ingredient and preparing a cake with her babushka (polish grandma) as the thunder draws closer. Then, enjoying the chocolate cake (made with an unlikely secret ingredient) while the storm is overhead. Hereās my 9 year-oldās version of Thunder Cake today as the thunder rolled here in Northwest Arkansas. (We were out of cocoa and fresh strawberries so big sister helped her make a buttercream raspberry frosting) If you havenāt read this book, I highly recommend it for parents and grandparents alike. The recipe is in the book and can also be found here: https://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/663541482/thunder-cake/
