let’s goooooo
gotta get the butter to room temperature
y'know if you don't have a stand mixer doing a stand mixer recipe is a lot of work
marmaladed and now back into the freezer
this thing spends a lot of time in the freezer
didn’t rise much, but regardless, time to cool
45 minutes exactly as per recipe, hopefully not overdone
yep that’s a flat cake
hopefully good but that is to be seen
but either way it's in plenty of time for #monsterdon
actually quite tasty
dense but not offputtingly so
very good with tea which makes sense, often served with strong coffee
wouldn’t want to make this that often because it’s a massive calorie load but I will be keeping this recipe ^_^
[much later: oh shit I never hit post on this lol]

Sam Levine@moira this cake looks very much like something I would like to eat
@kinsale42 it's very flat so i am somewhat nervous
but I _think_ that's normal?
@moira your average pound cake is pretty dense so it seems reasonable for it to be flat
@kinsale42 this is definitely dense!
but either way we'll see
Paul_IPv6@moira Every time I see one of those sets I always have a little voice that goes "WANT" in my head. I have so far resisted, but it's a real act of will!
Insubordinant
Ross of Ottawa@moira indeed! A bit of a workout. This is where you swear at the recipe's claim of 5min prep time. Must surely have been a typo, even with a stand mixer.

Susanna the Artist 🌻@moira This is why you need a small child whose job it is to stand there and stir the batter, like in the olden days.
Man aging with madnessMmmm... Zesty!
