Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz and cake

[bunn]

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.

Caaaaake! You can take your small slice and give me the rest, Victoria sponge is my favourite type of cake ever, and I can gorge myself until I'm sick on the stuff. Yours came out very pretty-looking too - the wife still likes to bring up that one time, 4 years ago when I made a spectacular misjudgement about tin sizes and rising, and made two delicious giant Victoria biscuits.

LOL, I have been there, that reminds me of a certain angel cake where I swear the recipe said 'beat' where it should have said 'whisk'. It was a giant biscuit!
