Chiffon Cake with Italian Meringue



On Memorial Day Lulu and I joined forces and made a chiffon cake, soaked in kirsch, brushed with bitter almond simple syrup, layered with homemade apricot jam and frosted in Italian meringue.

I don't have pictures of the process because I was slightly self-conscious to bust out the camera. I did, however, get shots of the end result. I will say, tandem baking was so awesome for the following reasons:

1) It kept me from eating embarrassing amounts of batter
2) I learned some new stuff
3) Four hands are better than two
4) When you're afraid to do something, or don't want to, you can make the other person do it

Yay!
