Michelle, who’s in town for her friend’s wedding, texted me: could I? Pretty please?
She’d been going to make an almond cake from the fresh almond paste she got at Milk Pail this afternoon: one of the perks of a trip home. But there was no way she was going to get back from that reception in time tonight–it takes an hour to bake.
Well, hey, I can make one of those really fast… (The recipe says baking powder in the list of ingredients, baking soda in the instructions. Do it in baking powder.)
The cast-off was finished at 10:55. The cake came out at 11:00 pm. I did it!
