Process

This is the original recipe I used to devise the recipe I like to make.

I realise that the amount of fat and sugar involved is truly astounding.

The resulting cake is delicious, in small quantities.

As it is an American recipe some of the measurements are expressed as volume.

The American cup measures are readily available. The spoon measures are the same as in use here.

The quart measure quoted is 2 pints. It is important to take into account that a US pint is 16floz. This is short of a UK pint.

I hope I never have to know the calorie count of this recipe.

Enjoy the experience if you try this out.
