More Brownies!!!!!!

You might remember the mint chocolate chip brownies that I wrote about making in December. Since then, I have made around three batches of a new kind of brownies. They have raspberries in them!!! What I did was, I used the exact same recipe as the minty ones (without mint extract or chocolate chips) and right before putting them in the oven, I put some frozen raspberries on top. I haven't tried them with fresh raspberries yet since it's winter right now, but that would probably work too. Other than that, everything is the same as before (except you replace mint extract with vanilla). A couple weeks ago, I made some for my friend for her birthday but... her dog got into them and ate them all before she could try one!!!! So yesterday I made another batch to give to her that their dog didn't eat and she liked them!

My Dad's Birthday Cake

My dad recently had a birthday and I got to make the cake for one of his parties/celebrations. It's a vanilla cake with blueberries inside. The icing has lemon zest and juice inside and then some blueberries on top as the final touch. The blueberries can also be replaced with raspberries if you don't like blueberries. I like the way the blueberries kind of burst in your mouth when you eat them. The lemony icing is also very good if you are someone who likes lemon. Just in case you might be interested, the recipe is in a book called 'The Baking Book' . It's the blueberry and sour cream cake on page 78. Here is a picture of the one I made for my dad:
