I'm in the middle of making the cake (the one I practiced up for last weekend). As I've said, I only make the one cake. I could make other cakes -- they're not terribly difficult -- but I don't like any other cake as well as I like this one. If I made some other cake, I'd be all irritated with it for not being the proper cake. Since most people do not like their cake served with a side of grumbling over how it's not the proper cake, it's easier to just make the proper cake and save everyone a little heartache. Or, y'know, I could make pie instead. I do that a lot.

Anyway, I'm taking a survey. How many of all ya'll out there in reader-land have ever made an honest-to-dog cake from scratch, using ingredients like sugar, eggs, butter, and flour? If it came from Mr. Hines or that Crocker woman, it doesn't count. Box cake is not good enough. Show of hands, or whatever: Have you ever baked a cake? Did it come out okay? Tell me about your cake experiences or lack thereof.

I make honest-to-goodness cakes upon occasion. Usually they turn out pretty well, but this one time, I don't know what my problem was, but it came out tough! That sucker could have been a very sweet loaf of bread.
