Hi everyone.

Hey Jude… I'd say you were still in Sachertorte mode eh? Had a bit of glaze left over? It'd work.

@Y: Harry probably won't come back now that you've made him into a multi-buy bargain;) I don't think I'll do this month's and Harry is vacillating about it.

I like your ideas on how to, uh, fix the frosting. I say drown the whole thing in bittersweet chocolate

Sugar induced coma just about describes this one!
I'd make this again with less sugar and absolutely no icing or frosting and serve it with coffee.

That's certainly one way I wouldn't want to fry an egg! As someone who has spilled toffee all over the stove top before, Harry, I feel your pain!

I love this DB in stereo thing. Are you two going to do this every month from now on? It's like two-for-the-price-of-one cakes!

What a pair of dag's you two are.
Thats the biggest " sugar fix " I've ever read.
Not to mention the newest way to fry eggs.
Must try the later one day.Keep up the good work.

Hey everyone!

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments!! As Duncan mentioned, I was away eating fish and chips in London this weekend (I miss them so much in Paris!), so have only just read through them all.

To Amelita, let me just answer in the form of another moral of this littel tale: Egg can and will get into every nook and cranny of your oven if you let it – be wise and clean it first before using your oven again or you'll bake it on for ever more…

Thanks for the entertaining post. You know, I didn't "know" that about the eggs. My kitchen is rather small and I often use part of the range for prep work. I don't use eggs, but that warning will play through my head at some point.

Hi everyone. Harry's been away gallivanting around London, so I guess he might not comment for a day or two yet.

I can say that my icing was a bit thick, Manggy, so yeah, just needed a little more butter or cream (both were included).

As I sat staring at (another!) slice of this cake yesterday, I decided I would probably like it much more if the icing were strongly coffee flavoured… much as Harry made a half-coffee cake batter.

LMAO. Good job!
