Hello lovely ladies (and gentlepeeps!)
A few days ago (on one of the 'Tough threads:o) somebody mentioned Nigella's Butterscotch Layer Cake.
I dug out my copy of Domestic Goddess and bought the ingredients.
I think I have a disaster - or maybe it's meant to be like this.....
I have the two sandwich bases in the oven as we speak. However, the caramel bit looks and tastes awful.
I know she says be brave because caramel has to be burnt to be caramel, but having tasted mine, it tastes bitter and burnt. I haven't added the cream cheese yet. Will this save it?
WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?
