It has been raining since I got up from bed. The weather is cool but the dampness is making me uncomfortable. The first order of the day was to bake a butter cake to commemorate Mum?s birthday today. After such a long hiatus, whatever little baking skills that I possessed are lost again. The oven temperature was set too high. The cake did not rise as expected. The juice from one orange was not enough. The cake was dry. It cracked at the top like it was hit by a major earthquake. It looked like a big muffin. I will just console myself that I have baked a muffin instead.
