It didn't turn out great.
Obviously.
So instead of eating cake to page homage to my grandma, I tossed one straight into the trash. I couldn't even convince myself to have a piece for breakfast.
Grandma knew when to throw a cake, and hell, I do too.
**Edit: I'm sure the problem has more to do with my baking skill than it does the recipe out of the baking bible. Baking Illustrated is super, super awesome.**

This is so so sad. :( Grandma would understand.
Sometimes you have to show a cake who is the boss and if that involves the garbage, so be it. Your grandma will appreciate your effort either way.
Charlotte, I've loved reading about your relationship with your grandmother. I think it's lovely.
I've NEVER gotten a cake to turn out without a mix so I am so impressed you bake cakes from scratch...even if you have to throw them out sometimes.
Well, I for one, think that trashing the cake is the perfect homage to Grandma!! She would definitely approve and relate.
I tried a new one as well, and haven't even finished it yet! It's waiting in the freezer for me to finish. (A little ER visit to the hospital has detained my efforts, ugh). I'll keep all posted when completed and hopefully, I can spare it from the garbage...it is a new recipe and fairly complicated, so wish me luck!
Nice try. I sure miss my Mom.
I agree with Mom - throwing a cake is definitely something Grandma could relate to! Hell's bells.
