I really don't like chocolate cake
never have. I'd much rather have a fruity sponge or a victoria. Never fruitcake though, blarg.

What about coffee sponge?
My nan used to make an awesome coffee sponge. I tried to make one a few months back, it failed HARD.

coffee is pretty good
as long as you have a nice coffee buttercream in the middle as well. I need to make a coffee and mint cupcake and call it an Aberracion because she suggested it.

We used to get it made for us by a old woman at our church
She'd cover the top in sugar just before she wrapped it, so the sugar would half soak in, making it a little crunchy at the top, fookin magnificent.

Em's mum makes one just like that
She made a red velvet cake too, which uses beetroot to stain the sponge a deep purpley-red. It was gorgeous!

Too bad he was a priest.

that's part of the drizzle you spastic
you poke holes into the cake from above, mix lemon juice and sugar together and pour it over

Actually, my precise thought was "Hang on, aren't they all like that?"
