The Great British Blog Off: St. Clement's Orange and Lemon Drizzle Cake

 Welcome to Week 3, bakers! Er... readers! l If you're new here and need to catch up, you can find the introduction to this project here , and catch up on Week 1 and Week 2 at the respective hyperlinks.  Cake time marches on, this time moving away from the loaf and into the territory of springform pans, stacking, and curd! Join me on the exciting adventure of continuing to zest the everloving daylights out of more lemons than I ever dreamed.  This week's recipe: St. Clement's Orange and Lemon Drizzle Cake The Prep Looking over this recipe after last week's loaf, I was equal parts excited and terrified for the dramatic uptick in difficulty. Pouring batter into a loaf tin isn't particularly challenging when you've done it plenty of times before, but this week's cake boasts several new techniques and tools.  The list of ingredients is also decidedly heftier, so I decided to take a separate shopping trip later in the week to avoid asking Andy to add 8 lemons an

Wednesday morning rolled around and my car tires had literally frozen to my parking space out back, which meant I had to salt the area and hang out at home for the start of my day.  Then I got to work and realized I'd forgotten my laptop charger.  It's just one of those weeks where nothing truly bad happens, yet a bunch of little irritations snowball (literally).  And then Saturday morning I had to make good on the promise to myself that I had to go to the DMV to get my PA license. I've been putting this off due to an identity crisis wherein I do not want t

Happy Tuesday, internet people!  I know this post is coming to you a bit later than scheduled, but January has been, well.. a lot. The tension leading up to the presidential inauguration knotted up with continued exhaustion from the pandemic has underscored a slow start to the semester as students undergo entry testing, and I feel a bit like I'm floating outside of time.  In spite of having a three-day weekend to look forward, I reached Friday feeling utterly drained and lacking in enthusiasm. In spite of my low energy levels, I've continued with my New Year's fitness challenges of the Yoga With Adriene 30 Day Journey, Breath , and the PB21 program from Bad Yogi. This leaves my body feeling sore and strong, intermittently and sometimes simultaneously.  Last week, I also added in the beginning of training for the BadassLadyGang winter racing series , which sounds like a lot but I promise you they all fit together more neatly than you'd think with the staggered start dat
