It's a month away, but we're having a pig roast for Michael's birthday, and i've been thinking about what kind of cake to bake. As if reading my mind, Twitter provided an answer. Somebody said that they'd found the perfect recipe - and it was mine. It's a cake I developed when I was living in Berkeley, working at the Swallow, and baking wedding cakes on the side. And it's the one I baked for Michael's birthday the first year that I knew him, the one in Comfort Me With Apples. And so here, courtesy of Serious Eats, is what I'll be baking again - all these years later.
