Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz and cake
I always have great difficulty keeping awake in July. It's not all that hot at the moment, and there has been rain, so everything this morning was dewy and cool, and the valley was full of mist. And yet I would very much like to curl up and go to sleep for about a week. I had to give up on Friday and just go back to bed because I couldn't keep my eyes open.
But today, among other things, I have made a cake. I think it's a little bit rich : too many eggs and butter. It's a traditional Victoria Sponge, and I now recall that I tend to find Victoria Sponge a bit too much. But a small slice is pretty good.

I think I understand your difficulty in staying awake. I have the same problem, only in January. It's impressive you managed to bake when you were feeling so somnolent.

I wish it was possible to teleport slices of cake. Because that cake looks beautiful and delicious. And covered with fresh raspberries!

I was still quite chuffed this one came out so fluffy-looking.

This one turned out to be less impossibly rich once I added liberal amounts of smushed raspberries to give it a bit of sharpness but a lighter recipe would be good to try.
