Yurt Cake

Thanks to Helen for passing on this recipe for a cake which her friend Alex used to make. "still does, I suppose, in his yurt, so I'll call it Yurt Cake", she says.

Similar to Han's Freestyle Breakfast Biscuits, in that you can improvise as much as you want.

My first attempt wasn't entirely successful - I don't think it cooked long enough, and it only made a half-hearted attempt at rising. Next time I'll try making it drier and rolling it out into a flat tin like flapjacks.

It's still very tasty. A little bit bland, as it has no sugar (I'll try adding some honey next time), but strangely addictive.

Apologies to anyone English - this one's in volume rather than weight - but Americans will feel at home with cups.
