It's that time of year again everyone! The third weekend of February is time for the…
First Annual "Everybody Bakes the Same Cake" event.
In 2025 there were zero participants… because it hadn't been started yet!
This year, there will probably be one participant, (Someone prove me wrong!)

@ottaross I love how they just say "marmalade".
Any fruit is fine... -

@ottaross I wish I could join, but I’m travelling. No bakes on a plane.

Any fruit is fine...@chiasm yeah that's funny. I've known it as an apricot or prune/plum thing. I suppose anything thick and fruity would work.

@jvschrag if you take the oven as carry-on it should be doable.

@ottaross I'll have to pass. Salty cake is just not my thing at all.

@ottaross
Shared the Guardian recipe with our oldest who answered immediately, “What’s the marmalade going to be? Otherwise, I’m down to do it.”Then they appeared in the kitchen to hunt for marmalade options.
So, sounds like we’re already all in.

@ottaross I have discussed this recipe with the stakeholders, and we concluded that we couldn't cope with that much butter. Maybe next year!

@AlsoPaisleyCat awesome! Will be great to see/hear about the results!

@krans you can always adapt the recipe to your fave cake batter recipe and follow the jam layering technique to see what you get. Lots of options.

@ottaross will you do a different cake for march?

@kimlockhartga Well, I called it "first annual" as I launched… but maybe it should be a more regular event?
Maybe one per season/quarter? This could be the winter cake event, and then do a spring one in May perhaps?
Will have to gauge the enthusiasm, and see where it goes. A different cake every time though was the thought.

@ottaross Can I submit a Victoria sponge? I know that I will never be able to recreate the cake, this time
, so instead I will take myself to La Maison Du Kouign Amann in Ottawa and buy myself a small version as a treat. -
