I love any recipe that has a whipped cream topping!<br /><br />Nicola,<br />We miss you!

Marie, your cake looks so amazing (though I am heeding Jim's graininess comments - would be great to find pecan meal, though think the possibility is v. remote!)<br /><br />Waiting for the planets to realign before I can get back into the kitchen. Currently "Mars" is away and has taken both the camera and every single computer (besides my work one) and I can't quite bring myself to bake without photoing it...somehow that doesn't make it real. Plus it spares you all from reading a 12,000 word essay on my adventures.<br /><br />Ahem.

I like how the whipped cream covers up everything :o) Btw, for some reason I expected the whipped cream to be a bit more “beige” from the coffee but maybe it doesn’t have enough coffee to color it that much. Glad it was a big hit. I still think Jim is funny with his “graininess” comment :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-74805316662296250532010-04-06T12:39:18.349-07:002010-04-06T12:39:18.349-07:00marie, i think i am firing my pan! want me to pic...marie, i think i am firing my pan! want me to pick one up for you, too?evil cake ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028488030328153196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-62791179564450006832010-04-05T18:26:31.217-07:002010-04-05T18:26:31.217-07:00skipping to Simply Recipes right now....

I would have been really very irritated if I'd burned this cake!<br /><br />Vicki,<br />Jim claims he likes cakes with nuts in, but he likes it better when there are bigger pieces of nuts. He doesn't appreciate that I've just gotten better at grinding the nuts more evenly. I don't know if the kids would be riveted, but they'd sure snicker at the thought of the Sybil's deflating breasts.<br /><br />Lois B.,<br />Thank you!<br /><br />Melinda,<br />I know. You're gradually learning about the dark side of my personality. I love whipped cream--it covers up such a multitude of sins.<br />Jim would be far too polite to ever complain of graininess in anyone else's cake, but he's vowed to be completely truthful as a Tasting Panel member. Just remember that he thinks chopped nuts are "grainy." (And he is fussy).<br /><br />Nancy B.,<br />Oh, too bad! All you need is one moment of over-confidence, and look what happens. It's not as big a sin as failing to weigh the eggs, though.<br /><br />Monica,<br />You don't have to come clean--you're the one who does what you're supposed to do!mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-69802272978456972012010-04-05T13:20:51.222-07:002010-04-05T13:20:51.222-07:00I need to come clean, I weight everything when it ...I need to come clean, I weight everything when it comes to baking, including the eggs. In this case, I was short on the yolks, hand to basically use "8", instead of the 7 called in the recipe, but then I was OVER on the whites.. so I lost about 1/2 of the last egg.<br /><br />On another note, I want the hot cross buns recipe.Monicahttp://www.sweetbitesblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-29550432450393465462010-04-05T11:57:39.469-07:002010-04-05T11:57:39.469-07:00I am normally a "break one egg at a time"...I am normally a "break one egg at a time" gal, and don't break a yolk very often.

You little closet rule breaker! <br /><br />I will never serve a cake that could possibly be interpreted as 'grainy,' to your Jim. I can tell grainy is not what he likes to taste in a cake.

It's impossible to tell with the fluffy whipped cream the cake gave any difficulties at all. It's interesting people either like the texture of almonds or perceive them as "grainy". Nicola's discovery of purchased ground almonds might help minimize this, especially when no flour is added. But what really impressed me is what a great high school English teacher you would make! You'd have kids riveted to their seats.Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-1353857270167329472010-04-05T01:30:59.887-07:002010-04-05T01:30:59.887-07:00I have the same cake pan and
