Experimental Cake
The philosophy club (Socrates Cafe) is having a fundraising bake sale today so I have been baking.
Several pans of fudge brownies later.... As well as my famous pistachio streusel sour cream coffee cake. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, it broke. I could only salvage 6 cosmetically perfect slices. The household is happy though, we get to eat funky lookin’ but great tasting cake.
Now I just pulled a vanilla spice cake out of the oven. Basic white cake with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, fresh nutmeg, lots of clove, and orange peel. I have no idea how it will taste. I guess I’ll find out in about an hour.
So feel free to just meander by the student center bldg at WCC and meet the philosophy dept. It's tiny but really good. And I just know it's on your way to somewhere.

streussel coffee cake?
oh mommy mommy!
Intelligent conversation and tasty goodies!
It can't be true, can it?
Yup it's true all of it.
Turns out we had to call the cake vanilla spice clove cake. It was super clove-arific. Needed a cup of coffee with it I thought.
Socrates Cafe? Just stay away from the hemlock brownies!
*sighs*
can you tell me more about coffee cake?
it's pegging my glucometer
just thinking about it.
My amazing coffee cake is just like this: A moist yellow batter infused with fresh sour cream goodness for density. Through it runs an attractive streusel swirl comprised of fine ground nuts, cinnamon, sugar, lemon peel, and fresh grated nutmeg. The crust has a lovely, uniform, rich, brown colour and the sugars have occasionally crystalized on it which gives it just a touch of crisp.
I hope you weren't being facetious....
I tried the gingerbread and I am still amongst the living. I think we succesfully avoided offing anyone and we made 95 bucks for some, to be determined activity. And we got to go see "My Kid Could Paint That" then have scintillating discussion after. All in all a goodish effort.
i'm never facetious about coffee cake!
