Certain foods can elicit specific moments in your life. Fresh-baked banana bread can prompt flashbacks of Sundays at your grandmother’s house and one bite of a deliciously greasy onion ring can make you feel like you're zipping through laps at your hometown skating rink.
But two foods that invoke the same memories in most people are birthday cake and popcorn.
Birthday cake, unless you’ve had some particularly unfortunate birthdays in the past, usually evokes sweet recollections. Just licking a spoon covered in yellow cake batter makes most think of singing, that satisfying smell when you blow out a candle, and delightful surprises, like discovering the inside of a cake has crazy, secret swirls.
Popcorn reminds most of us of cozying up, covering ourselves with a warm blanket, and watching a movie with a bag of buttery scrumptiousness that you can make at home with some raw kernels, a paper bag, and microwave.
So, if you combined the down-home happiness of popcorn with the birthday blissfulness of birthday cake, what do you get? Food euphoria, and a snack perfect for a screening of Sixteen Candles.
Whatever the occasion, this simple food hack is sure to please your palate any day of the year. I also love that it takes just minutes to prepare!
