I Used To Be Able To Bake
Really.
Nothing special, just the usual cakes and cookies and loafs.
But something has happened to that ability in my peri-menopausal middle-years. Witness this so-called fruit upside down "cake."
It's supposed to be a cake. Not a biscuit-like thing with fruit on the bottom. Cake.
But I accidentally put in 1/2 TBSP of salt instead of 1/2 tsp and had to guess at how much to take out, and I think I put in too much baking powder.
How such a simple recipe (my mom's basic one-egg cake) can go so wrong is beyond me.
I'm stepping away from the stove now....Permanently!
Fortunately, I didn't do anything absurdly "off" at work today, though the week is young.

I say so long as it tasted nice and you enjoyed eating it is what's most important!!! If all else fails, I'd spread some chocolate spread on top!!! Makes it look like a cake with chocolate frosting!! Yum!!
Hugs!! Take care

I cannot bake for the life of me.... Crazy says it's because doughs don't like me either.... errrr...
Kim put it down to a one off science experiment that didn't work out the way you hoped otherwise the alternative is a life without cake..doesn't bear thinking about.

I am porting 5 years worth of blogs from MSN Live Spaces to Blogspot as they are closing Live Spaces completely down. Blogspot will allow a third party in to slurp the blogs and make a book of them which is my purpose of porting them over. It's for the kids when I have gone to the Bridge. :-) There is a lot chronically my years of 12 hr. shift rotation. They had to live with that as did I.
Just thought I would say why you will see older ones a month at a time. I usually do that every few days.
