I remember finding things not very easy at all during my early attempts as a baker. Life is strange: I ended up doing one of the last things I ever thought I would do. I was scared of baking, scared to fail. Everybody used to say: “Baking is a science and you are very bad at science and maths!” They were right in a way, but after years of studying the subject (because of course you do have to study first), I developed my own way of baking. I would refer to myself as a “punk baker”. That said, I am now able to create recipes mixing and matching ingredients in a way I never thought I would be able to do, and this recipe is an example of that. I reckon loaf cakes are underestimated; they are superfun to make and the possibilities are endless. Try them: enjoy creating interesting combinations using a base recipe, such as a pound cake recipe. Become a “punk baker” too! Have a loaf tea party, where you create a dessert table piled high with different loaf cakes and you’ll see how much fun they are!
