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 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 🙂

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
