(My) Cakes

[Sundae]

You may not want me to when you see my Lemon Drizzle Fail
Although I am bilingual when it comes to cooking instructions (thanks to the Cellar) the coffee cake is in metric weights, not cups. The Challah recipe I will send though.

So - lemon drizzle. I admit I was careless from the off but I think my two biggest fails were using oil not butter to grease the tin and trying to remove when the cake was still too hot.

As you can see it fell to pieces.
It was also far too sweet, although that is a fail of the recipe, and if I ever dared make it again I'd rectify it.

Monster was right to warn me of the difficulty of using moulds, but this is honestly my first real fail. I need a deep 20" cake tin I think. My 20" sandwich tin would have overflowed.

Still taking it into school. I'm not wasting four eggs! Especially as I had six gifted to me by my chicken-keeping colleague. They can eat it with spoons. Mum has already had all the slivers and crumbs she could sneak off it. I said she could. It's Mothers' Day here afer all. She agrees it's too sweet, but can't stop eating it. I'd say at least a 1/6 has gone...!

Oh and also shown is my cake carrier. Ta-daaaa! After all that eBay searching I found one in big Tesco. Much cheaper than those I had looked at online.
