bonerdonor asked: i call this story "timothy and the gabby cake"
once upon a time timothy wanted to make gabbys cake because it looked really good and timothy was having a bad day and cake is always a good idea. so she begins to make it, and what is this? she has no baking soda? so she asks her brother and he says baking powder is the same thing. wrong. her next impasse is when she finds out that she has no lemons. limes would have to do. just as things are going swimmingly, timothy discovers she has NO WHOLE MILK. she is forced to use half and half. she puts the cake in the oven and makes the frosting. after twenty minutes are up, the cake isnt even half done. she waits until it starts to look remotely edible. then she removes the lumpy cake slabs from the over and attempts to fashion them into some sort of cake formation. the end result is hideous. "this is the most pathetic excuse for a cake ive ever seen in my life!" says timothy to her dad. But then, they try it, and its actually pretty good and she doesnt feel that bad anymore and her dad is proud of her.
the end.
first of all, i am deeply honored that you are calling it the gabby cake. that’s basically like if your hero wore a pair of tights and called them the timothy tights. secondly, i was making muffins yesterday and ran out of baking powder and used baking soda and they turned into these little muffin lumps, so i know EXACTLY how you feel.i used 2% milk and regular flour in my cake. i think limes make a FANTASTIC substitute.
i’m so glad the cake is not that bad. frosting heals all wounds. i’m so glad your dad is proud of you. I AM PROUD OF YOU.
