I couldn't decide if I liked or not.
This is a gorgeous cake made out of Cream of Wheat of all things. After you make up this deliciously sweet Cream of Wheat mixture, it bakes in a caramel sauce like a pineapple upside down cake.
My gut told me to leave out the raisins, but I didn't. And, my gut told me to leave out the squeeze of lemon juice from the caramel sauce.....and, I didn't. I think if I would have left those two things out and added just the tiniest pat of butter to the caramel sauce--I would have enjoyed it more.
However, my 4 year old really like it. She must have a more sophisticated palate then me. (Like I always suspected.)
See this nice close up:
I contemplated only posting the close up, but I believe in full disclosure...I had a little mishap when extracting cake from pan.

I'm glad you showed both photos! Looks aren't everything, after all. My cake just came out of the oven, so I have to wait to see what it tastes like, but it looks yummy!
I love both your photos. I'm making this next, so I appreciate all the tips and mistakes, hoping I will learn and do a little better. Your cake does look lovely, even with the mishap.
I liked it this week as well but my gut told me to do a lot of things I didn't which I do think would have made it better. Learning is what its about, right?
Trevor Sis. Boom.
Thanks for sharing both pictures. I think this cooking group is going to cause a lot of us to have learning moments and mishaps, but I think it's part of the charm. I tried currants in this cake and then cranberries, both of which worked really well.
LOL...loved your second shot. Happens to all of us. Where else can our bumbles be appreciated!
