Cake-baking day. Everyone knows that the thing you need most of all, when baking a cake, is a double-shot latte.
And, you know, a recipe. From Eat Cake.
Not to mention a very --- helpful --- helper....
And someone else to do the pan prep, since it took longer than mixing the cake batter!
The batter that looked like cat sick.
But that baked up into a delicate little cake.
That everyone devoured.
Even Segundo who really does not have much of a sweet tooth.
And the adults? More or less licked their plates clean.

So, are you sharing the recipe? LOL
DeeeLish.
So let them eat cake!!
Great cake, and great photos!
recipe, please!
Who knew you could get all Scriptural like that?
That looks like it'd go swell at tea.

Yes, please share the recipe.
Joke - have we forgotten my twelve years of fundamentalist Baptist education?
I Kings 19:6. Because I know you and SL want to know, if you don't already. Elijah. Ahab. And the wench Jezebel.
Will post recipe tomorrow, or when I have my copy of the book. I lent it to Gina to read.
I'm a little surprised you didn't say, "Um, read the book, people."
(After this post I requested it from the library.)
you know, Peg has a point...Read the book. people.
Eat Cake, by Jeanne Ray.
Although it was a very lovely book, it doesn't quite fit into the realm of me making the world read it, like, say, Stones from the River, does. so I'll post the recipe too.
Yeah, I knew it was Elijah being fed by the angels because Jezebel was hunting for him.
(aside: did blackbird change her bird picture?)
But I didn't have the exact chapter and verse stored in my brain.
Which, btw, apropos to nothing, is the exact story I need to be mindful of today...So, thanks BB!
(Bet you never thought someone would thank YOU for posting a verse!)
Hey, it's the end of the world as we know it--a new world order is on the horizon.
Oh, and the dif between me and BB: I think Eat Cake is a book I'd have everyone read. Stones in the River is not light reading. I believe in light reading.
(Although Babs and I do share a love of Holocaust survivor literature.)
So here's my commercial: Read Eat Cake. It's the most delightful book I've read about unemployment and decrepit (and divorced) parents living in one's house.
Cake baking day sounds like my favourite day :) It's a winner when kids eat all the cake. My girls are still stuck in that stage where the cake is just the place holder for the icing.
That pistachio cake looks similar(ish) to my hazelnut cake. Which you can see on my last post on the kitchen bench.
Can we lure Gina back online with cake?
-J.
PS My WVW is "nevaw" which is not an encouraging answer.
Okay, I requested the book from the library!
Please come back Gina!
I want to bake with you! Craving cake now.
