Since you are a trained pastry chef, it’s saying a lot that you love this cake so much, too. Congrats on your new cookie book, too. Can’t wait to see it in the book stores.

I’ve never used SmartBalance, so I can’t speak to that for sure. But I did find this link to America’s Test Kitchen, in which they talk a little about using SmartBalance for baking. One guy says it works fine if you use the SmartBalance that is 50 percent butter. http://www.americastestkitchen.com/ibb/posts.aspx?postID=177475

Happy baking, Jackie! ;)

I have to stop reading your blog when I’m hungry. (Of course, then when WOULD I read it?)

Can I substitute SmartBalance for some or all of the butter? I’m not sure how that would change the balance of fats, gluten etc?

Thanks, this looks so good and I’m dying to try it.
Jackie

I made this cake too and raved about it on my blog! I’m really thrilled to have discovered you and your blog – as someone who grew up in SJ and lived in the Bay Area all her life, I’m embarassed I didn’t contact you sooner and let you know what an inspiration you are to me!
