Emulating Delia

Gregoire's birthday yesterday so I promised him a cake. Chose a simple recipe - or so I thought. Turns out I chose the hardest thing in the world to make - and it ended up looking like a cross between a fat flat heavy pancake and a holeless tyre. Gregoire said it was rather odd but surprisingly tasty. And certainly one of a kind. Unlike anything he had ever had before - or was ever likely to taste again. I filled it with a little mixture of crème fraîche and fresh red berries I whipped up, and topped it with my own home-made lemon icing....yummy, almost. The overall effect was intensely sweet and fruity, whilst having a strong lemony flavour too...most unusual. Probably best not repeated.
