Has anyone made this before? It's one of the recipes in the HWC favorite recipes pack.
I have a probably really dumb question about it. Here's part of the instructions...
Preheat oven to 350. For cake, add food coloring to amount of water specified on package. Prepare cake according to package directions. Pour batter into Rectangular Baker. Bake on center rack 35-40 min or until top is golden brown, cracked and center is slightly sunken. (Do not overbake). Remove baker from oven; invert onto Stackable Cooking Rack. Without removing baker, let stand until completely cool (about 1 1/2 hrs.)
Poke holes in cake about 1 1/2 in deep and 1/2 in apart w/ large fork. Zest lemons using Zester/Scorer to measure 1 Tbsp zest. Juice lemons using Juicer to measure 1/3 cup juice. In Small Batter Bowl, combine sugar, juice and zest; Whisk until smooth. Pour glaze over cake, spreading evenly. Let stand 30 min or until glaze is set.
I need to put this on some sort of plate or platter, right? Before poking the holes and pouring the glaze on? What kind of plate would this fit on?
I overthink things sometimes. I'm assuming that I need it to be on a platter before I do the glaze. I guess I'll have to cut the cake up to it will fit on the large square or round platters I have. I don't have a PC platter that this fits on. Unless I set it back into the rectangular baker (not sure it fits back in there in the cakes inverted state).
So, has anyone else made this? What did you do?
