This cake is a lot of firsts. This is the first recipe I ever made of Nigel Slaters. My then-flatmate Quil, had The Kitchen Diaries and I got very into reading it. It was also the first time I'd heard of golden caster/granulated sugar. From the picture where the cake has been cut you can see that it was a little bit sad in the middle, but that just left more room for icing! Now I'm writing this, this was a cake of firsts in many ways. I think this marks the time when I realised that i wanted to be a baker. Or 'make cakes' as i usually say. I made this for my friend Kate. This started the trend for me making everyone a cake for their birthday and as normal as this sounds, i didn't do that before this one.
