Cake of DOOM

[slemslempike]

We went to see my great-aunt today, to show her her great-great-nephew. She very kindly gave us a Victoria Sponge to take at home. I just cut myself a slice, and instead of buttercream, she's put BANANAS in it. What a sad waste of a cake.

That's quite weird. I mean, I like bananas and I like sponge cake, but that's really not in any sense how a Victoria Sponge works.

No, it's not! I suppose it's a slightly healthier alternative? My dad likes banana, and he said it really really didn't work as a cake at all.

I can't really be doing with healthy versions of things like Victoria Sponge. If I'm eating a Victoria Sponge, health isn't really foremost in my mind. A desire for cream and cake is.

That's evil. I would deconstruct it and replace the buttercream.

Yes, this. Jam is a quick and easy substitute.

No, banana seeps into whatever it touches and contaminates it! Also, it was jam and banana, not banana and buttercream, which is much less easy. Oh well.

Jam AND banana? What sorcery is this? I mean, I like banana, in general, but no no no a thousand times no.

Sadly the banana has seeped into the cake it touched. It was beyond rescue.
