3rd time lucky

Hurrah! The third version of the cake (and the one I baked this morning for the party this afternoon) has turned out the best of the three. Same recipe with Nigella, but a few changes - I used fat-free yoghurt instead of our home full-fat yoghurt, used a spray oil in the tin and then tapped it thoroughly to get rid of excess flour. The cake itself actually tasted better too. Great. Here it is unadorned...






and decorated.



This is the best of the 'decorated' pictures although you can't see my clever use of a McDonald's sauce pot as a crow's nest at the top of the mast!
