This Never Fail White Cake is the fun cake that I decided to make this year for my youngest son’s birthday and it really is a delicious cake. We had a nice family dinner on Sunday and enjoyed this wonderful cake as we celebrated his 20th birthday.

I’m not sure where those 20 years have gone, but I have figured out that the older one gets, the faster time goes. Even my son said that time is going so much faster now. He said that he doesn’t think that he is so young anymore either – believe me, it is all relative!

In celebrating his birthday, I hope that he enjoyed eating this cake as much as I enjoyed making it. As you can see there is a few ways that you can decorate it, and since we aren’t big on sprinkles, I decided to use chocolate chips.

That is the fun part about decorating a cake, you get to decide what goes on it.  I do enjoy a good birthday cake, and I would much rather have one that is made from scratch than to pay a lot of money at the store, especially when it doesn’t taste that good and is a little dry.

I am always happy to take time to make a birthday cake for my family members and I hope that they will do the same for their kids. And since today is the fourth of July, you could even make this same cake and put a few cherries in place of the dark chocolate chips. There you go red, white and blue. 

Happy 4th of July to all of you!
