Pi Day Cake!

Pi Day Cake

As many of you know, today is pi day.... not to be confused with pie day. Today is 

March 13, 2015 or 3/14/15 which is pi day because pi is 3.1415. So in honor of this very amazing nerdy day I made a cake! I know you are probably asking yourself why I made a cake and not a pie, well my answer for you is simple. I had a really cool pan.

The first step is to make the cake. I used this recipe for yellow cake. You have two options for your cake. You can either make one cake or make a double layer cake. I did both as I took the layer cake into school for a pi day party in math class and my parents took the single cake into work with them. This recipe is for one 9x13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans so in order to make the double-layer cake just double the recipe.

Yellow Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups self-rising flour

1 1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the butter and sugar.
Beat in the eggs.
Add the flour, milk, and vanilla and beat to a soft smooth batter.
Bake 20-30 minutes in the preheated oven or until testers come out clean.

Once your cake or cakes is/are complete and completely cooled it is time to deceorate. Take your vanilla icing and cover your entire cake. If you decided on making a double-layer cake you are going to carefully place your second cake on top of the first. Take your icing and cover the entire top cake with it as well. 

If you are a nerd, kinda like me, then you can use decorating icing to write on your cake. I only wrote a few numbers on the top of my pi symbol, but I wrote 3.14159265. Feel free to not write on your cake at all, or write 100 digits of pi if you realy want.

Have a wonderful pi day!

Don't forget to put a burry on it!
