Sponge Cake FAIL!
This dodgy, flat sponge is the first thing I've made with the awesome new Candy Apple Red KitchenAid Mixer that Dug got me for Christmas.
I think the flattness is a result of my crappy oven, because it definitely didn't have anything to do with the way the batter was mixed. And because the new mixer whips cream in about 30 seconds, I just filled the cake with cream and strawberries to make it regular cake size. It's like a giant cream puff.
I'm also beginning to suspect that some of the 'award winning recipes' in my country show cookbook may have been modified by secretive old ladies so they could still claim to make the best cakes around.
