may you have your cake and eat it too in this new year that lies ahead!
i used a victoria sponge recipe from attic 24 yesterday and imagine my horror when my ever so carefully prepared cakes didn't rise! i sifted the dry ingredients (something i sometimes skip) and gently folded them in. no go. it didn't look like lucy's sponge. i mused on this last night and realised it must have been that the butter was cold and not having a microwave to soften it i put it over a pot of water that heating up to cook pasta. it didn't soften but melted. not all of it but about half. still in all it tasted great and had an acceptable slightly chewy texture. i spread half the cake with this seasons blueberry jam and the other half with raspberry - now its all gone!
looks delish!
happy 2012 to you friend!!
