Vanilla Rainbow Cake Roll

Emily asked me if I would bake Garsha a birthday cake. I agreed, and then asked her what flavor cake and icing Garsha would like, suggesting some options. Emily told me that Garsha really preferred vanilla cake - she does not like chocolate cake.

Wait - what? Vanilla cake?

I don't believe I have ever baked a vanilla birthday cake - my family goes for chocolate cake, with various frosting flavors. Sometimes they go for pie, but never vanilla cake. So I started looking for vanilla cake recipes, and I saw a rainbow cake roll that needed to be tried. So I did.

Chocolate Cake with Lemon Buttercream Frosting

Happy Birthday, Doug!

(He asked for chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, and decided that Lemon Buttercream frosting might be tasty...  It was!)
