Birthday Cake Batter

July 23, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 25 Comments

Hello!!

Today I have a birthday treat for you, no it’s not my birthday or anyone I know, but that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t eat some cake batter?  After all cake batter is so good!!  Oh and good for you too!  What?  It is?  Yes, mine is and you can spoon it right up!!

Birthday Cake Batter

Mmm, mmmm get me the spoon baby, I need some batter!  So what is in this batter you wonder?  A combination of good things!  I used garbanzo/chickapea beans for the base, added some maple syrup, stevia, vanilla extract and butter extract.  All that together makes a great birthday surprise!  Have you ever heard of butter extract?  I was recently at my grocery store and I saw it by McCormick and thought, hmmm, weird.  Then about a week later I thought about it and thought, I bet that would be a great substitute for butter without actually using butter.  So I went back to the store and they didn’t carry it anymore.  I googled it and I couldn’t find it by McCormick anywhere near me.  So I did some research and discovered J.R. Watkins and found out that they carry it.  So I placed my order and a week later there it was.  Oddly enough the day after I got it, I went to the big grocery store, you know the really nice ones and there it was on the shelf, butter extract from McCormick.  Figures, but anyway I have it now and now I get to create yummy treats without all the fat and calories!

Butter Extract


I am truly amazed how much this really does taste like cake batter.  I just love changing up recipes using garbanzo beans.  Such a wonderful healthy bean and honestly you can’t taste the bean in it!  Plus I added the sprinkles to make it more festive!  So tell me, when you make a cake, do you eat the batter?  My favorite part about making cakes and cupcakes is licking the beaters.  When I was a kid my Mom would make the boxed blueberry muffins, and ever since then I fell head over heals for batter.  Something about that stuff that tastes magical.  Ok, maybe not magical but as a kid I thought so!  Gosh, it’s been forever, I wonder if they even make that anymore?  Remember the blueberries in the can?  Ahh the good old days!

    Does this taste like the beans? I made chickpea peanut butter cookies recently and they tasted like chickpeas. I was disappointed 🙁

      I would say yes, you do slightly taste the beans in the recipe. It’s more of the after taste then the initial taste.

    Enjoyed this about the butter flavoring, thanks for bring it to the attention of others. I am diabetic and have to make all recipes diabetic friendly, I have found you can use any flavoring and have the benefit of the product without the calories & sugars like, coconut, pecan, black walnut, orange, peanut butter, cherry, maple etc .this is especially good in baking cakes & cookies, icings. I have been using flavorings for 12 years with great success
    Love all your recipes…Pat

    Sophia,
    i have tried a few chick pea substitute recipes and yes i tasted the chick peas first and foremost. that’s just my taste.i dislike chick peas garbanzo beans etc humus.but i would assume since this is basically chickpeas and maple syrup.it will taste as so.it just does not sound appetizing to me.sorry

      Not everything is for everyone. I love chickpeas, so if it does have a slight taste of it, it doesn’t bother me.

    This looks awesome! I can’t wait to try it. I am a huge fan of cookies made from chickpeas and I am sure this tastes as good as it looks! I had no idea that butter extract even existed.

    This looks insanely tasty. I just bought some butter extract and haven’t known what to do with it. I knew I wanted to do something cake batter-like so this is looking PERFECT!

      Thanks Kylie! You should try the butter extract in a smoothie. Add a banana, milk and a pinch of extract and you have a birthday cake smoothie! It’s amazing!

    I don’t agree with the ratios here, I think a little more maple syrup is required than stated, or else the chickpea taste is overpowering. This is a great concept and I’m glad you shared 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
