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.
Well, he sounds like an inconsiderate asshole, cake or not. Lordt.
Ottolenghi’s Matilda Cake recipe, including halvah and tahini in the layers. Because of course he would!
