Baked it early this morning. Used the 9 x 13 glass. Completely missed adding vanilla. Forgot the oil until I had poured the batter - I poured it back in the mixing bowl add added the oil(.
Perhaps we could have a “failures” thread if anyone wants to be honest). I believe anyone who spends time in the kitchen would have something to contribute.
Also, I think I baked it just a bit too hot.
But - it turned out pretty good. Not sure if omitting the vanilla affected this, but, to me, it needed more spice.
I made a lemon glaze. Sifted confectioner’s sugar and juice and zest of two large lemons - I guess about two cups of sugar.
I’m glad it turned out well. The thing about this cake is it’s so little trouble to make. I’m sure if you increase all of the spices as well as the vanilla and it would be a nice cake. The lemon glaze sounds good.
