And it was tasty.
Oh, I made a cake. A cream cheese pound cake, whatever that means. I made it from scratch, which is apparently the hard way. It did take forever. And although I am quite proud of this achievement and have been telling everyone about it and making everyone taste it, I also now have this enormous cake in my fridge that will take a few weeks to eat. So I don’t know. If you want some cake, come on over.
I would take a photo and put it up, but I spent the money for new camera batteries on a big rubber cake pan.

Is pound cake the same thing as tea cake?

Those bloody floppy cake pans are expensive.

Oh, i cannot take you teasing me like this, Mister Mark. Cake AND a short getaway from the cold cold February is too much for me to resist!

If I didn’t live 11,000 miles away, I’d totally come over for some of your delicious confection. Boo.

mmm, that does sound tasty. I’ve not really tried making cakes; I can make cookies, pies, and candy though. It’s always nice when a culinary experiment turns out well. :)

Ross - Clare would have known, but I have no idea. According to the internet, pound cake gets its name from having a pound each of sugar, butter, flour and eggs. In other words, lots of butter.
Tomas - Ta!
Clare - It was all they damn well had in Woolworths. Not that I’m complaining really. It did a kickarse job.
V & Julia - Yep, it’s brilliant right now. Warm, but not too hot like it was in January. There are yummy treats in the fridge and tunes on the stereo. Suckers!
Winter - Pies roXor. Making the cake was pretty easy in the end, but if you have a mixer it would be a cinch. Flickr me photos next time you make candy.
