(My) Cakes

[Sundae]

This is what the cake I made this afternoon should look like.
I don't think my version will bear close scrutiny.
Something weird happened with the vanilla and the caramel layers, they cooked at the outside but not in the middle (oven too hot?) so they were a bit shrunken and came away from the tin at the sides.

I was also a little haphazard in the splitting of the batter, which can't have helped.

Still, I'll take a pic of it iced and sliced.
And no, I am not making it again, unless I am begged on bended knee.
The caramel in between the laters is uber-sweet and I can't believe anyone will really enjoy it. I thought carrot cake was a faff, but at least I could eat a slice of it.

And from beginning to end it took 4 hours.
Okay most of that was baking and cooling as opposed to work, but only have 2 sandwich tins of the right size meant a lot of waiting around. And having Diz creaking at me from outside the kitchen.
