Where has my jam gone?

[wiseheart]

Well, into my strawberry-and-cream sponge cake, of course!



This time I used Grandma's time-honoured recipe and the sponge rose so much that it turned out too thick to roll up properly. So I cut it into two halves vertically, then both pieces cut horizontally, so that I got four layers, filled it with the strawberry jam (it ate the entire jar, the gluttonous cake!) and whipped cream that I "seasoned" with a shot of eggnog, and this is the result. I know it looks a bit dishevelled, but it tastes heavenly.

So, no more sponge experiments! Grandma knows best!

Oh ... that looks very yummy.
Can you send a piece via internet? ;-)

I so love egg-nogg flavoured cream, but since there are always little ones who wanna have cake...

I could try, but I'm unsure about the proper coding. *g*

There's really only a very little eggnog in this whipped cream — about one teaspoon or so.

That is a wickedly indulgent cake, it looks amazing!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is very yummy indeed. :)

Oh yum!

That looks awesome. Now I want to jump on the next plane.

That looks so good — now I really want cake!

Yum indeed! It's even better than I expected it to be. This is the first time I've tried this mix, mostly because I had a box of cream in the fridge that would have reached its 'best before' deadline next month and I wanted to use it up before it happens; but I think it gets into the standard repertoire. *g*

It would be my very great delight to welcome you and bake you anything you want.
Perhaps one day. One should never give up hope. We Hobbits ought to stick to each other. :)

And it is so easy to make, that is the beauty of it.
