This Space for Rent

A feast of cardiovascular DOOM

BlackCake2008

The normal routine for making a Jamaician-style black cake is to cool it in the pan, then extract it for storage and/or consumption. Alas, this is not what happens in our household; I screwed up the recipe and used a cup of butter instead of ¾ths cup, so the best helpfully volunteered to taste it, and then I had to taste it as well.

It’s very good, in a “kiss your heart goodbye!” sort of way. I wonder if any of it will survive past the solstice?
