A glass of Sauvignon blanc, a pinny and a cake tin...

Made an impromptu decision to bake my first ever cake today --a Victoria Sponge-- using a recipe from my mum's Cordon Bleu cookbook set! Glass of wine in hand and with my pinny on, I endeavoured to work some magic in the kitchen. Highlight was seeing 2 yolks come out of one egg.

Looked up the occurence to confirm that I wasn't just dreaming. Found the following info online:
DOUBLE YOLK EGGS: Double Yolkers appear when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk somehow gets "lost" and is joined by the next yolk. Double yolkers may be by a pullet whose productive cycle is not yet well synchronized. They're occasionally laid by a heavy-breed hen, often as an inherited trait.

Whatever. Cake's in the oven now...has to be there for 40/45 mins. Outcome to be announced ...

Outcome:









Dad and I really liked the cake. Mum thought it was just ok. Make of that what you will.
