Father's day cake

The  tie-dye number surprise cake
was stirring in my head. So I made the not so red olive oil cake first in a loaf pan. How I hate loaf pans. Even after 40 min there was some wet batter here and there. While slicing the loaf I realised the work was already done with D and a, I just had to send some of them for a walk.

Sponge cake with olive oil cake biscotti. The original tie dye cake used pound cake. I wonder if my letters would have spared better in a loaf pan. It did make for an emphatic visual, which was what I was going for.

And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
