The Cake I Baked

Hello everyone, today I baked a cake. Yup, a cake. Me. Baked one. Here's the recipe if you want it:

semolina cake recipe:

3 cups semolina
1 cup sugar
1 tbs baking powder
4 oz or 125 grams butter
2 cups milk
4 oz nuts

combine dry ingredients
melt butter and cool before adding
mix well and stir in milk
pour into greased cake tin
bake for 30 to 40 mins at 350 degrees...or until cooked through...test it with a knife
while hot, pour syrup over slowly so it spreads through

SYRUP:
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 tbs lemon juice
heat over low heat....

If there's any problems with the recipe, consult my mother (that's not some sort of insult, she's the one who gave me the recipe). Here are some problems you may run into, you may find that 350 degrees is hot enough to burn the outside edge of the cake and leave the middle uncooked. That's what started happening to my cake, but I caught it in time and turned it down to 250 instead. It worked out for me. Anyway, getting all the ingredients together was a bit of a nightmare. First of all, my host family didn't have any semolina in their house, or a lot of sugar, so I had to buy that stuff. And nuts too. If you can, get nuts that are already crushed into itty-bitty pieces, this will make things much easier. I didn't and so I had to crush my own nuts and that was a whole other thing. I ended up using a baking tray and a jar of pasta sauce. If only I had had a sonic screwdriver to cheat my way out of that situation... So I had to walk to the shops to buy that stuff. I didn't mind the walk, but it's getting a bit hot these days. Poor me, suffering in this hot French weather. So I get to the shop and try and buy the stuff and there's a 15€ minimum for eftpos. I think that's too much. Who spends 15€ at the local shop? Certainly not me. She didn't give me a bag either. It didn't get much better after that, I misunderestimated the sheer volume of mixture that 3 cups semolina, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbs baking powder, 4 oz or 125 grams butter, 2 cups milk, 4 oz nuts makes and had to keep changing mixing bowls. Also had to keep changing cake tins too. Syrup went perfectly though, no complaints there. Feel free to add a little bit more lemon into the syrup mix, to make it just that little bit more tangy. Well I'd better go, I need to hide before my host family sees the mess I left for them in the kitchen...
I'm kidding, there's no good spots to hide in this house anyway.
