Failure is too absolute and definitive a word in most contexts. I try to avoid it 😉
I can't remember who said it but this is the perspective I try to adopt: you didn't fail, you just found one way that didn't work.
'Failure' is information to help us get where we need to go.
I tried to make a sponge cake a few months ago. Tricky as the temperature always dips in my range oven when I open to check. And I haven't mastered how much air to whip into the mixture. It deflated and became a tart (that went down very well with friends, regardless).
What's the message here? 🤷🏽♂️ That good things come from 'unsuccessful' attempts.
Well … I think it was a clementine and cardamom sponge cake. Or was it rosemary 🤔 Either work well. If you add more substance to the batter, like ground almond, and manage to either underheat or underwhisk the mixture … you may well end up with what I got.

Tell me more about this sponge cake turned tart! I love baking and getting inspired by people's creations. <3

Clementine and cardamom sounds like a dream!
