A butter boat?

I made Dutch butter cake again!

This time I decided to make only half the recipe. I figured that I could fit the aluminium foil to the size of cake that I wanted.

Well, that was correct, but it seems like the “tsunami waves” (see the photo in my previous post) would make the cake spread if it weren’t “contained” in a pan!

The far end is the part that was close to the door of the oven. So the part that spread the most was towards the inside of the oven, where it was not "blocked" by the edge of the pan. I was afraid it would spill over, but luckily it didn't!

So I think I ended up with a Dutch butter boat instead? :P

At first I thought that the sides did not spread because the shorter edges are held better by the corners. But looking at the waves from last time, maybe the cake wouldn’t have spread in that direction anyway. 

I wanted to take a photo of the boat-shaped cake on the cutting board, before actually cutting into it. But I forgot...so here’s the photo after it’s partly sliced up.

And inside…

It doesn’t look that good in the photo (and probably also in real life), but the buttery taste is as awesome as before!
