Four Toasts
The only substitution I (Whisk) made was salted butter instead of unsalted. I used frozen cranberries since they don't seem to be available fresh now that Christmas is over. I defrosted them a bit then drained the juice. The cake batter was much thicker than your regular batter. It required about 10 more minutes in the oven than recommended. Removing it from the dish, although heavily buttered, left most of the sugar mixture and some of the berries stuck to the dish. It received mixed reviews; overall we decided to average it out to four toasts. Toothpick figured that Mennonites might like it more than non-Mennonites because it wasn't as sweet as most cakes we're used to, and he thought they didn't have sugar so it would be a real treat. Upon finding out that Mennonites do indeed use sugar, he decided that the rating they would give it would drop from a 5 to a 4.
Whisk and Toothpick! Great presentation, I wish I were there to taste. We should have had you as the guest corrispondants sooner.
ReplyDeleteSpatula got a bad cold and has been banned from blogging until he is better so the final post is much anticipated.
