Thundercake

My class makes Thundercake every year during our weather unit.
Mr. Stockton helps us make this in the library.
What IS Thundercake, you ask?
It's a cake a little girl makes during a storm with her grandma.

There is a special ingredient: pureed tomatoes.
I forgot to buy them.
So, I guess our cake wasn't too special this year.
It WAS, however, the thickest cake I've ever seen.
Hmmm... maybe that's what the tomatoes were for.

Oh well.  The kids didn't seem to mind.
They thought the tomatoes sounded disgusting.
You can't even taste them.
Pick-y!
I certainly wasn't that picky at age 7.
HA!  

Our cake was ready just in time at the end of the day to eat along with the giant birthday doughnut for a student's birthday!  I'm sure the kids' parents were LOVING that sugar high on a Friday night!
