Like a lot of people, I grew up with my parents taking us to church every Sunday. Every year there was a big fundraiser for one of the groups in the church where the women would get together and make tamales. Which was a little weird because I remember growing up where the only version of Mexican food bore no resemblance to actual Mexican food.
But I digress.
The recipe came from a woman who refused to share the recipe with anyone. And when I say anyone, I mean she didn’t even share it with her kids. As her deathbed approached, she finally agreed to share it with her granddaughter so long as she swore on her honor to never share it with another soul.
I never understand that. I never understand why anyone keeps a recipe secret. But anyway… all of this crossed my mind because I was sorting through cookbooks and came across one of the them from that church (sans tamale recipe, of course.) And so it made me think I should share with you my super secret recipe for Manifesting. But you have to pinkie-promise me you won’t tell a soul. Okay? Cool. Then here it is…
Manifesting Cake
Ingredients
- 4 sticks faith
- 1 quart hope
- 3 tablespoons optimism
- 2 1/2 cups sassiness
- 2 heaping cups sifted courage, divided
- 3 extra-large bubbles of pure clarity
- 2 cups shredded worry about the past
- 1 cup sunshine
- 1 cup exercise
- 2 helpings angel prayers.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 444 degrees.
- Combine faith, hope, and optimism. Mix well until fully blended and whipped up into excitement.
- Add sassiness. Sift 1 cup courage and add to mixture until it starts to bubble with anticipation.
- Add clarity one bubble at a time mixing until fully incorporated. Make sure the concoction is full of vision of the completed cake. Add salt if desired.
- Sprinkle remaining 1 cup courage over top of mixture.
- Shred worry about the past until fully disintegrated. Throw it in the trash.
- Place cake in oven and set timer for 44 minutes.
- Go for a walk in the sunshine to get a little exercise while Manifesting Cake bakes. Ask angels for their assistance.
- Remove cake from oven and allow to cool. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate (because that helps everything.)
Bon Appétit!

I Have Something to Confess …
So… I have something to confess. Something really weird that has been going on in my life since I moved back home to Denver. I’ve been keeping this on the downlow but I guess it’s time for me to “come out of the closet” one more time. I don’t even know how it...
Why Can’t Every Day Be April 7th?
Y’all know I am pretty good at full disclosure. However, I am gawd-awful at taking time off. Seriously, it’s problematic. Everyone says so. To give you a hint, I have been published 14 times over 12 years. My peers think I’m nuts. My publisher adores me. The first few...
My Thumb is Turning Green
Last summer, I purchased an 85-year-old house from a 92-year-old woman. She had lived here for 55 years. By all accounts, she was a master gardener in the past with the front yard being a right-proper English garden. Inside, the entire house had hooks in the...
OMG! My Perfect Day!
I recently had a perfect day. For the record, it was Saturday, March 1st. It had been a long time since I had had one. And honestly, it probably wouldn’t sound like “all that” to most people. But that’s the thing about perfect days. Everybody’s different. The...
I’m Done Playing It Safe
I’m currently in the process of making a big decision. I mean, it’s not a gigantic decision, but it’s still a significant one to me. And what I am increasingly aware of is that it feels like all of my decisions over the last year have been big decisions. Some of...

Hi Radleigh I’m with you on not understanding the point of SECRET FAMILY Recipes.
I love sharing favorite recipes.
Hmmm….I just thought of an exception… it’s a recipe for a product that your producing and making family income with it.
That’s never been my situation so I freely share any recipes I have. None of them have been family secrets handed down through generations in my linage anyway.
Fun story…forty or so years ago I took pumpkin bars into work. Our Assistant Director liked them SO MUCH. He had mentioned them to his sister & she asked him to get the recipe. He was a shy single Japanese man. He asked my Japanese supervisor if she would ask me for the recipe. I was honored to be asked, so I delivered it to him personally. He was very pleased to get it.
Thanks for sharing your Manifesting Cake Recipe with us.
I adore these fun humorous recipes.
I remember chef Wolfgang Puck saying he & his first wife didn’t have children because he didn’t have a recipe for them, jokingly of course.
Love your recipe, Radleigh!
Love love love this! Thank you Radleigh you always make me smile 🙂

Sweet Recipe! Love it… Going to “make it” today!
This is the best thing I have read in a while and it so made my day. I’m sharing this with my friends, printing it and keeping it aside for myself too. Thank you so much!
I love the Manifesting Cake recipe. I will try my hand at baking it to keep out negativity
and doubt. This is one to share.

Keep on spreading that Fairy dust – perhaps we could sprinkle some of that on the top of the cake?!
