As a special treat for a wine tasting trip with Matt, Aaron, Selina, Z-man, Richie - I made up two cakes - done with lemon instead of orange as specified:
Olive Oil Rosemary Semolina cake
Fran Costigan's Orange Almond Olive Oil Cake
The first cake required that the batter proof - it wanted yeast and I found myself up late late at night before I was supposed to be getting in the limo with my friends! It had a drier, bouncier crumb - downright springy.
The second cake just came out perfectly the first time - it was very moist and dense. Subsequent attempts to make it find it to be - terribly fickle - and it just collapeses into a globby heap (not sure if it is because I tried using key lime juice instead of orange or lemon and if there is a difference).
And, of course - I made chocolate peanut butter cups, for which Matthew nearly murdered Aaron (who also enjoyed them).
