A Sorrowfully Sticky Situation.

Word to the wise: don’t pour your excess batter from the absolutely wonderfully spectacular Crazy-Good Raspberry Cake into a cake pan that you might actually want to remove it from, in one piece at least.

As apparent in the photo, this cake (intended to be an impossibly cute mini bundt cake- yes, I was even going to pour a little swoon-worthy glaze over top of it if… sigh) ended up as a monstrosity of crumbs. Monstrosities of crumbs do not make for attractive desserts.

(What went wrong, you might ask? This time, I swear it wasn’t a me thing. Yes, I buttered the cake pan. Yes, I made sure the berries weren’t stuck to the bottom of the pan. Sure, I might have overfilled it a touch, but the issue at hand was the temperamental batter, I’m sure of it. The real recipe asks for it to be baked in a pie pan, so that the pieces can be easily removed without creating a crumbly crumby mess. Baking the batter in a pan that you want to remove it from in its entirety? Forget about it.)

(Oh- ten points for The Husband, who ate the crumbly crumby cake mess for breakfast anyway. What a saint.)

(Last point- don’t dismiss this Crazy-Good Raspberry Cake because of my recipe for disaster here… trust me, it’s worth it to bake as intended in the pie plate.)
