Basic Butter Cake

It is now the school holidays and the beginning of endless whines of "I'm bored! Can I play the computer, watch TV, play Wii, play with your phone, etc, etc?" We'll be staying put here for the holidays until Christmas week when we'll head back to my parents' for a few days. How do you entertain a seven-year-old for six weeks? .....I really don't know. Will probably find some holiday camp for him. SOON!

In the meantime, Mummy ie. moi, just has to get her butt off her chair and not be so lazy and find some activities for everyone to do together. We've been to the library a couple of times and borrowed tonnes of books. And yesterday, we baked a butter cake. My hubby loves this butter cake with chocolate chips. Unfortunately, I didn't have any chocolate chips when I thought I did, so we just made it plain. I measured out all the ingredients and my son put them in the mixer and mixed it. The cake turned out really well. Maybe next time, I'll let him do all the measuring. Or is that too ambitious?
