Baking Challenge

Drizzle Cake

Give your cake a name based on the ingredients and decoration – and tell us about the origin of your recipe.

Brandy Old Fashioned Drizzle Cake

Tell us about your proudest moment – or humble failure – in this week’s baking challenge.

We attempted the cake twice, and the middle collapsed each time. We suspect the baking temperature was too low. Turned it upside down and applied whipped cream strategically.. all good. The brandy drizzle, however, got better each time.

Describe how you added a Wisconsin twist to your creation.

The Brandy Old Fashioned is Wisconsin’s (un)official state cocktail. Why not as a cake?

How did you do?

Pleasantly satisfied.
