The Cake That Fell Flat...Literally
The Dau and I have been planning the Christmas Eve dinner and I said that I wanted to try a recipe that I found called, "Cloud Cake." I looked over the recipe and it was a little sketchy, so I thought I'd make a trial cake before the real deal. As I started to make it, I realized that it did not have any flour in it...hummmm. I made it exactly as directed and took it out of the oven at exactly the right time. It had risen over 6 inches and some spilled out on to my oven floor. It looked beautiful though! I ran upstairs to get my phone and ran right back down, only to find that the cake fell to a height of about 1-2 inches. Yikes!!! I tried a chunk of it and it was sweet, but tasteless. Basically, it was a sweet souffle in a cake pan. The dogs enjoyed it though. OK...I'm not serving that cake for the holiday. I think that I'll go with my almond cake that I've made many times before.
