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 🙂

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?
