Honey cake with honeyed almond crunch
I got the recipe from here.
When I first read the recipe, I thought it's very easy. But me being me, things always have to come with surprises. Right before I finished work in the office, I took one more look at the recipe and realized I missed out something very important. I needed to whisk egg whites. My arms are more Olive Oyl than Popeye, hm... And so i had to go buy an electric beater! Well I figured I'll need it for other cakes anyway but it's just annoying that I had to make a detour and stop by the department store...
In the end the cake turned out ok although slightly burnt at the edges. Plus I managed to burn my thumb too. Typical me.
Obviously I can't finish it all. Gave a few slices to my parents who were so happy to see that their daughter can and does actually cook.
Also gave one slice to the chef, trying to kick away his blues. Glad that he said it's not bad. But maybe he's just saying. I still have the feeling that he really doesn't care. But like he said, the cake was not the point.
Well, then what's the point then? If you would show me please...
