I made a cake. It wasn't spectacularly successful, but as my first cake ever, I'm quite pleased. Ignorance still beats a steady retreat before me :)
It was very lemony, and quite moist, as I desired to err on the side of :) I think the dough was a bit too liquid. And the microwave-meltable chocolate icing had a tendency to become scorched, it needs more stirring.
But I hope to try again. Thanks to sonicdrift for an easy but general recipe, it's exactly the sort of thing I find most helpful.
