I'm sure I'm not alone in my attempt to bake a cake at least once a year, for a birthday usually. This year I have actually tried several, some of which were so completely disastrous I didn't even want the embarrassment of showcasing them as learning experiences. There was an attempt at a strawberry cake that was particularly bad, even though the recipe was taken straight from a blog superstar. Dense and chewy, we shall speak of it no more. Baking does not seem to be my forte. I was at a loss, until this spectacular creation came along, including the solution to making good cake for people like me: cheat.
