Now, I know where I went wrong with these. Instead of using fresh rhubarb, or frozen (?!), I used tinned. FAUX PAS. Also an out of date tin. Oops. This made the mixture really runny, like really really runny, so the cakes didn't really bake. They sort of 'set' in the oven, if a cake can do that in a bad way.
The strawberry glaze was warm jam, and warm jam on a set custardy out of date produced cake, isn't ever going to be nice. Not even Carl liked them. And he has a very sweet tooth.
So I'm afraid, another EPIC FAIL.
It was at this point that I reached my nadir with the baking of the cakes. I wasn't excited any more. I couldn't bear to open Wagman. I had lost my baking mojo. These were dark days and there was a pause in the production while I took stock and tried to decide whether to give up or carry on. Dark times indeed ...
