I like recipes that use up ingredients and this one caught my eye. But I don't usually make cakes and, this one didn't go according to plan. After mixing everything together, I had far too much for the tin I had prepared, and so had to quickly get another. Then I slightly burnt the cakes, presumably because I had divided them. The cakes came out rather sunken and one broke up as I turned it out. My solution was to serve these cakes as a sponge dessert, served with a little whiskey, ginger syrup and some pouring cream. Delicious!
