No, I won't let you have my cake (and I won't let you eat it either!) (5 pics)

So, since tomorrow's christmas and we're celebrating with relatives, I though I'd bake a cake, Here's how (qnd where) it turned out after I had taken care of the din the smoke detectors were making: and opened all windwo to clear the smoke & stench:

2 more photo's on my balcony:


Here's the inside, now you fully understand why I wouldn't let anyone eat it (as if there was a doubt in your mind).



Alas, Simon & Seamus, eat your heart out! This is what happens if you set the oven temperature too high (whether accidentlally or on purpose).
I don't think it was the rum I added to the cake mix, because I've since made a different cake (the recipe for which called for an apple, so I've also added my rum-raisins and I put some rum through the mix) as per mu traditional apple-pie recipe (hey, I'm Dutch and they sell rum in the supermarket here.....) I was gonna make an apple pie, but since that would've been too much for the small company on christmas day, I decided I'd stick to a cake.

Let me take the opportunity to say this:

Merry christmas to all!

Hey, It doesn't look that bad. 

Just give it as a gift to somebody you don't like.

A little bit of butter will bring that cake right back to life.

Looks good, why didn't you make one at Mittens?

It looks rescueable on the ouside but when you slice it in half it looks like a loaf of burnt toast.
Well done sir

I thought the reason I didn't became obvious enough in those pictures?

I'll see what I can do at Miamittens, of course depending on whether the place we're in has smoke detectors (which can be turned off easily), it turned out that my microwave oven even had one built in. Bake and learn, guys. Oh and my next cake came out wonderful, haven't tssted it yet, but it smells and looks great (it even feels squishy and not breakable like this one)

I thank you all for your kind and considerate words (Domino, I already threw it away, so I'd have to dig it out of the trashcan as a gift to someone I don't like, and even *I* have standards which prohibit that.

It can't be worse than fruit cake.
