A wave of domesticity came over me today and after the hoovering and washing of dishes, I got a craving for cake. I decided I wanted a sponge cake today, so I googled a recipe and got down to business!
As I was gathering my various ingredients and bowls, I realised I no longer had two sandwich tins. I had used one of them to hold my fimo creations in while being baked in the oven a few months back. I had gotten distracted and they had almost blown up! So the tin was unusable.
It was ok though, it just meant it took a little longer to make the cake and gave me time to get the stuff ready for our dinner of home made burgers and mash :)
I used this recipe for the cake and raspberry jam and my own buttercream for the filling. I sprinkled it with confectioners sugar on the top.
With my new electric whisk it makes creaming the sugar and butter in recipes like this, so much easier. The only things I really could do with now are, a sieve and a cake cover.
The cake looked great, just a touch of golden on top and nice and bouncy. It tasted so good. Not too sweet, just soft enough. A small enough slice was just perfect. I will definitely keep this recipe on file.
Stephen thought it was delicious and in return I got a foot rub :D
