There's a disaster in progress, in my oven. I'm making a cake, and the recipe said I could use a 9x13 sheet pan. I thought the pan looked rather full, but I wasn't expecting it to run over. (The recipe actually said to put two stacked cookie sheets under the pan.)
After 45 minutes (the supposed baking time), the cake was very jiggly, and starting to run over. I put a bigger cookie sheet in the oven to catch the drips, but not soon enough to stop what was already on the oven floor... and which is filling our house with a lovely... burnt smell. Good thing it's a cool day outside and I already had the windows open! :)
I put a piece of foil loosely on top, since the top of the cake was getting rather dark, and I'm going to keep baking and checking until the cake tests done. I have a feeling I'm in for a real disaster-treat, but I'm not pulling an under-cooked cake out of the oven -- which is a sign of giving up early. You never know what could happen.
Plus, there's a whole cup of honey in this cake. The worst disasters are the expensive ones!! At least this cake was easy to mix up, and Yehoshua had a blast helping me make it. :)
