bake a cake

How I did it: I set out to make a Madeira cake and some Shrewsbury cakes for work, as a goodbye and thank you for having me.Not being much of a cook, I was hideously slow. I knew the basic techniques like folding, beating and rubbing but the mixture wouldn't behave for me.

How I did it: I found a recipe in Lost American Recipes or something like that, and found Cold Oven Pound Cake and Red Velvet Cake.
