MakersHourQuestionsQ5: This ‘dishcloth’ thing came about from my misreading last week. What funny or confusing misreadings, potential or actual, have you had in your making? Instructions, measurements, or whatever you casually read during your projects.

A5: Although not my making, I do have a very funny story where it was a new colleague's turn to make "Friday Cake" for the group, and he was very excited as he hadn't baked before.
He made a cake with a "secret ingredient" and was very excited for us to guess it.
We all bit into the cake and immediately made an array of bad faces.
The secret ingredient was a cup of coffee. He had added a cup of ground coffee.
Sue Archer😆 😝 Not the way to do it!
@MakersHour he said the recipe was called "Black Magic Cake", I just looked it up and at least this recipe calls for one cup of "brewed black coffee". Maybe his was vaguer?
Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)@grajohnt @MakersHour oh nooooooo. I love what coffee can bring to baked goods, when used properly, though.
