This is a recipe from my oldest sons college days and I will try to credit this story as accurately as possible as it was told to me. Brandywine is the apartment building where Matty lived at the time so this is where the forefront of this recipes name comes from. Matty and his buddy Aaron were hanging out and were hungry (aren’t they always hungry?!). Mattie was ready to make French toast, a good choice, and Aaron, well; he was looking for something a bit sweeter, some brownies perhaps. So what do you make as a compromise when neither feels like going to the store on a shopping trip....you guessed it....French cake!

Rummaging through the cupboards to their great delight, a can of pre-made vanilla frosting magically showed its splendor and they nodded in agreement that this would do just fine. Matty went to work preparing the French toast....the young Jedi has learned well.

5 slices of bread (you can use your favorite)
3 large eggs well beaten with 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar

With cooking spray or butter, grease your cooking pan. Heat pan to medium heat and dip your bread into the beaten egg mixture and then place in heated pan. It will take approximately 2 minutes to cook each side. If you can lift the bread to flip, it should be golden brown and ever so lightly crisp.

When the French toast is cooked place one on your serving plate and spread with frosting. Repeat this process with the five slices and then frost the entire “cake” I have to admit I am tempted to make some right now but I don’t have a can of vanilla frosting in my cupboard (I will have to get some!) and somehow it seems that this recipe should not have a homemade batch of frosting piled on it. I believe it may take away from the nostalgia point of two men making a “cake” I know their girlfriends are proud!

I will admit here that my son is actually a pretty decent cook and he does cook for his sweetie at home and I’m kind of proud of that and she really is a sweetie too. So there’s a fun story and a fun recipe for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

As always, be blessed and have a wonderful week!!
