Let them (and me) eat cake!

It's a rainy half term, what do you do but make cakes? What do you do but make mistake cakes. We made the usual 4,4,4,2 cake recipe and threw in a little cocoa powder. I had some ginger conserve that needed using up and somehow thought that if you put a little cake mix in the bottom of the cases, then a blob of conserve, then more cake mix that the conserve would stay in the middle... Errr, no, and that's why baking is a science.. I think I'll be thrown off the Daring Bakers before I've even begun... The conserve of course sank to the bottom making for a very sticky mess when you eat them. Tasty though, especially with the dark chocolate on the top and the obligatory rainy day sprinkles! We have precisely none left, so mistake or not they were good...
