Challenge #28: Cake

[miss_s_b]

Today has not been a good day for me, folks.

Give me cake. Lots and lots of cake. Will accept mug cakes and buns and fairy cakes and things as well. Just sweet, sweet carby goodness, please.

Ordering ingredients from Sainsbury's as we speak (or, type, I guess). *hugs*

Here's some virtual cake in the form of a recipe for Black Forest Gateau, which is utterly delicious when made properly (and thankfully not very much like the Sarah Lee frozen travesty):

Oh God, I'm sorry, I didn't realise!

Is pie close enough to cake to count? This is the recipe for shoo-fly pie (a speciality where my inlaws live) I use. It's like a combination of treacle tart and a crumble, and the filling is quite cakey. I use butter as the 'shortening.'

That sounds yummy

It's really good and pretty easy. Admittedly it's quite hard to avoid the bottom going soggy and melding into the filling, but conveniently this is not regarded as a fault in Pennsylavania.

Ooh, this is an excellent opportunity to use up the lemons that have been sculling around in the fridge since before Christmas.
