My grandmother and I baked a three-layer chocolate cake today—my first time ever making a cake and frosting from scratch.



It didn't turn out too even, but it was delicious.

Found it: 27th September.


I was experimenting with wartime 'cake filling' (which is basically cooked white sauce slightly stiffened and enriched with dried egg and a tablespoon of sugar, and in this case flavoured with instant coffee!)

Yes, whole pecans. White sauce is just milk thickened with flour -- flour and water paste made with milk and a little fat instead of plain water :-D

It wasn't terribly complicated. There was just a lot of everything.

Three nine-inch tiers is certainly a lot of cake!
