Today marks the 4th year my mother isn’t here to celebrate her birthday. It’s hard to know what to do on days like this. How to pass the time? I will probably bake a cake. I usually do. It’s sorta a new tradition now. Instead of being sad that she’s not here, I try to celebrate her life, and be happy for everything she gave me. Eating birthday cake, and being thankful sure beats sitting around being sad. Yeah?

Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you. xo

ps: if you substitute unsweetened applesauce for the eggs or butter, it makes the recipe lower calorie, and healthier. I never use eggs when baking something sweet.
