I’ve heard this is some sort of viral craze. Haven’t seen it anywhere where I live but I’ve not really been out a lot recently. I read a website called Mumsnet where one pregnant poster with a craving was very upset that her husband ate the entire piece she was saving in the fridge for later.

I wonder if said husband is still alive…

I noticed a version pop up in my IG feed about Matilda Cake in Toronto, so I guess it’s global! Although I’m seeing a lot coming from the UK. maybe the Epicenter.

It was a pretty classic Mumsnet thread!
I won’t post the entire thing.
Resounding support for the poster from the Mumsnet crowd. I love Mumsnet because it’s very British in an inexplicable way.

Ottolenghi’s Matilda Cake recipe, including halvah and tahini in the layers. Because of course he would!
