How easy was that! It is my husband's birthday today, and i thought I would try something special. I have never ever made a cake like this before, but I must say it looks very impressive. Like Baby Kato put the cream on the inside (that is just the way we do it in Australia). I warmed some plum jam and spread that inside first (would have used strawberry, but had none). I haven't tasted it yet, but it looks awesome, and I feel so clever. Mine cooked in more like 12 minutes!Reply
