Last week was my turn to bake at the office. I baked my first cake (in 62 years) last year and have made a couple more since. I went back to a previously tried recipe, Maggie Beer’s lemon poppyseed cake. It takes quite a while to make these things, zesting the lemons and beating the butter, sugar, flour etc. I baked Wednesday evening and iced Thursday evening. I diverted (or deviated) from the recipe to make soft icing with butter and milk added. I finished with zest scattered on top. It was a great triumph. Unfortunately my nose was still affected by my cold and I couldn’t taste it very well! I was told by my colleagues it was delicious and very lemony.

Don’t you mean “deviated from the recipe”? I zest.
