shewhomustI baked a Goth cake yesterday. That's not what the recipe calls it, but it has many black ingredients (prunes, treacle, dark beer), and what's more, I managed to switch the oven off while it was baking (pure inattention, I was trying to switch the grill on), so it also came out slightly sad. Goth cake, what else?
The recipe comes from the Guardian, but I had thrown it away, so credit is actually due to Sue, who baked the cake and brought it along on a walk. It was good enough that I decided to bake one myself, and took it along on our first visit to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
samarcand and Candy in their new home - which is already very comfortable in the spaces between the boxes, and they are working very hard to enlarge (and decorate) those spaces.
Disclaimer: the recipe tells you to ice the cake. I didn't. I practically never do, because a) it's just more sugar, and who needs it? and b) it means you have to bake the cake early enough for it to cool down before you ice it, and that never seems to happen.
