Well, that was fun. It is always good to see each other. Thank you Wanda for dropping in via text. You missed a great discussion about Theft, a marvellous read. Tanzania may be an exotic location but we recognized the characters and their concerns, as well as the bigger issues of colonialism and the abuse of power. We also had some great laughs playing "guess which great film you need to see, with title, actors and every other helpful detail unremembered". Google was the big winner.

Here's the recipe for Best Almond Cake. I recommend this recipe, except for the instruction to use a springform pan. I tried this and found that there was leakage. The next time I used a normal pan, and lined the bottom with a circle of parchment paper before spraying. There was. no issue releasing the cake from the pan.
