And I don't mean last year's fruitcake, or the can of salmon the FPC youth passed around at the White Elephant Parties. Anyways. Last night A. made a traditional Cypriot cake, only the recipe she was using had her put in 7 tsp of baking powder. We were all skeptical (A. included), but she went with it, and needless to say, the cake came out rather bowl-shaped and bitter. You actually don't taste the bitter baking powder until the after-taste, and the cake itself has a really nice flavor. The traditional version is made with rose extract, which A. couldn't find here, but if the vanilla version tastes so nice, I'm curious about the real version. But on to the re-gifting part. Tonight I'm making the remaining half or so into bread pudding to see whether or not a mound of chocolate, sugar and cinnamon can obliterate the baking powder. Based on the taste I just had (it's not quite set yet, as I now know), it's working. Cadbury Drinking Chocolate covers a multitude of sins.
S, J, E: yes. Cadbury Drinking Chocolate. Don't worry. You're getting some.
