Every year I tell myself it's the last that I'm doing cake and what did I end up doing today?
After spending too long lining tins with a million layers of parchment paper, doing breadcrumbs, doing mixture I've finally put 3 tins in the oven. Have still managed to have batter left over. Cakes won't finish until about 12.30am.
Can I use leftover batter in the morning to make another cake? Or is this a waste of time and energy? [lots of goodness in these cakes - fruit soaked in rum and port!] Won't bother though if a mixture left for too long is going to be rubbish. What do you think?
