For today's creative endeavor...
I made a lemon poundcake!
Complete Twitter thread with progress photos here.
I used to bake a lot when I was young, but I fell out of the habit in adulthood even though I really enjoy it. I'm much more of a baker than a cook -- I like following a recipe and feeling confident that the final result will come out like its supposed to. This one came out just a tad undercooked, probably because I was using a new pan that's a little smaller than the recipe calls for. But sometimes baking experiments work -- I added a bit of orange zest and juice, instead of using strictly lemons, and it added some nice depth to the flavor. It's all about learning where playing a little looser with the recipe will have good results, and you can only know if you try.
