My grandmother’s butter yellow cake. The recipe is simple: One box of butter yellow cake mix. Hot topping made of: Butter. Sugar. Vanilla. Sweetened condensed milk. But somehow, she always managed to make something simple taste like home. She made this cake for my birthday every year. Now that she’s gone, I make it for my family and friends. And just like when she made it, it never lasts long enough to cool. The ingredients are the same. The recipe is the same. But the most important ingredient—her—is missing. So every time I make this cake, I’m not just making dessert. I’m making a memory. And for a little while, she’s here again. 🤍🍰 #family #food #cake #memory
