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.

I have SO been there with the flat cakes... what I did with this one was add an extra teaspoon of baking powder on top of the self raising. It seems to work and you can't taste it!

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