Indulge In {Cake Batter Pancakes}

It's no secret, I have an obsession with pancakes. It began when I stayed with my grandparents during the summers and, preceded by a snack of Dunkin' Donuts, my grandmother and I made pancakes galore. Flavored with all sorts of things like cinnamon, bananas, vanilla, and more, they were the best and the highlight of each morning. One flavor we never tried though, was birthday cake. Combining my two favorite foods into one, how come I never thought of this? Talk about genius and majorly delicious! Imagine serving these up for a birthday brunch with friends accompanied by mimosas and fresh fruit. Here's the recipe courtesy of Betty Crocker...
