The words from a thirty something ranting loolah in Ireland

The day I cooked my first cake.

Posted by McAWilliams under Written

Today on Twitter Alexia tweeted up a link to her blog for a recipe for a Coca Cola cake. Now anyone who knows me, will confirm the words coca cola are an instant attraction, yet the words cooking do not work well with me. So off I toddled over to this post and I had a read of the recipe and thought feck this I am going to give it a try.

I mentioned this to Paula who had rung me to see if I needed anything in the shops, when I told her I wanted to make a cake the phone nearly dropped, did I say what a bad cook I am. Anyhow she picked up a few things we did not have at home and tonight I made the cake.

Obviously being me, I decided to do a few Qiks to show how it was going.
1st off in the oven baking away!!!

2nd one is when I took it out of the oven.

3rd one is removing the tin and the near disaster that thankfully was averted.

And lastly the cutting of the cake!

Seriously you need to try to make this cake its yum, honestly some people would top it with something even Alexia mentioned it on her blog but the cake is very filling as is putting more on it I think would be insane!

So thank you Alexia for sharing this recipe with everyone and thank you for allowing me to attempt my first ever cake, guys you have no idea how proud I feel right now!
