Hey, I just realized, it is almost my birthday.

[conuly]

What sort of cake am I making? I sorta want to make a lemon cake, but all the recipes involve making lemon curd, and that is more effort than I love. Jenn makes great lemon curd, but when does she have the time? Plus, I want a lemon raspberry cake, but they aren't in season, and they smush so easily on the way home from the store. (Ana saw the word raspberry in print today and came to me to point out the typo. She was nonplussed when I assured her that it was correct. "Connie, listen. Rasp berry?" Yes, Virginia, there really is a gratuitous p in that word.)

So maybe some other sort of cake. Chocolate cake is good, but I don't know, I'm kinda chocolated out right now. I want something different from what I normally bake. After all, it's my own birthday, right?
