Volcano Cake

They always say never drive drunk.  My new motto is 'Never bake when distracted'.   I have no idea what I was thinking about when I made this cake.  I did everything wrong!

I put the flour in the batter at the wrong time.  I used the wrong size pan.  I am not sure if I pre-heated the oven so it had to be baked for ages. And this is what happened.

I baked a volcano!  I feel very lucky it turned into a cake at all.

I've done some serious trimming, made some decadent frosting, and crossed my fingers hoping that it will all be fine in the end.  I'll keep you posted.

    I am sure it tasted just fine in the end. I had an episode of my own last weekend - hurry to bake a Victoria Sponge cake on the Sunday morning for impending house guests and …. my blaming scale goes on the blink - batteries flat. So I had put in the 4 eggs & had to just guess the flour & the sugar quantities & add a little more until it looked like the right consistency … it came out OK - not as feather light but OK & it all went quickly!!

      My paternal grandmother never used recipes and could bake the most beautiful cakes, pies and scones. I think we modern cooks are too insecure to trust our own judgement and abilities. Well done you for having the confidence to 'wing it'!

    It looks like you did a very good rescue/disguise as your cake looks lovely. I like your new header too - very springlike :)
