But I'm not sure whether it was old or not (does that even apply to bpowder?)<br /><br />When you put the boiling water in, did your cake batter turn almost to water? It could be that I didn't put in enough flour/something else, but I'm not sure. That could have something to do with the flattening out.mariaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905023730625343565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603290435201067579.post-58345349112573554482009-12-28T18:19:26.706+11:002009-12-28T18:19:26.706+11:00@Harriet Olivia - I hope it worked out for you!

I can totally understand not wanting to buy the book (that's what the internets is for, right?) but it is a lovely book with many delicious things in it if you are ever in a spending money on cookbooks mood.<br /><br />@mariarita - My cake was a bit Niagara Falls-y too but I think that's just the nature of it. The glaze does take a long time to set and Nigella does say to leave it to completely cool before glazing. So, that might have contributed to the waterfalls-y effect. <br />As for the flatness - when you say 'pancake', do you literally mean pancake flat? It's possible I missed something in the recipe then.<br /> *checks* <br />Nope, everything is there. Was it old bicarb? I don't know if that is a complete myth but maybe it had lost it's rise. <br />Mine didn't rise heaps - as you can see in the pictures, it is a pretty low cake. <br /><br />I'm glad you tried the recipe!s-jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634870621019546893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603290435201067579.post-92199188455386776792009-12-22T00:03:59.587+11:002009-12-22T00:03:59.587+11:00Hey s-j!

But when I made the glaze, I let the cake cool and THEN made the glaze, and poured it over when it was still a teensy bit warm. So it didn't set for ages and ages, and the sides of the cake looked Niagara falls. Okay, so that might have been a bit of a exaggeration, but you get my point. <br /><br />Also, when I put the cake in the oven, and it rose up nicely (etc., etc.,) and then took it out, the cake sunk. Do you know why?/what can I do to stop this from happening? It was flat. Like a pancake. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for posting the recipe! You're awesome, and one daring baker. :)mariaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905023730625343565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603290435201067579.post-13577780268631693272009-12-04T04:17:32.040+11:002009-12-04T04:17:32.040+11:00Beautiful!
