Ta dah!

 

Not as hideous as I suspected as all the pieces are unique.

Another good crop of raspberries so, as it was a birthday in Zac's, I decided to try a new recipe for a raspberry and white chocolate loaf cake. It used four eggs which seemed a lot for the other quantities but I went along with it.

When they were cooked and I took them out of the oven the bottoms were falling apart, and practically oozing. They didn't seem cooked but the stick-a-skewer-in test had worked so I left them hoping they'd firm up.

The topping was white chocolate butter cream and with the quantity given for one I covered both cakes. (I made a spare.) For the birthday cake I left it upside down, covered it with icing, and hoped for the best.

It was okay when I cut it up although a bit fally-aparty. One man said it was the best cake he'd had for years. This is a good thing about cooking for Zac's: most people only eat shop cakes so home-made always goes down well, regardless! A group of women from the WI would probably have torn it to shreds with their criticisms.
