cake, because you can

 




film still from Věra Chytilová’s film Daisies*





Dear Ovens, and Kitchens, and Pans, and Things,

This for you!  There are other places to find this same recipe, but no matter where you get it, be sure to make it.  I have made it twice in 6 weeks.  It's that good.  If you do not want a lot of Sea Salt Butter Cake, make a half recipe; it comes out dandy!  I didn't have the Einkorn flour; I used a heritage bread flour.  I would say use whatever you have, or go out and find the fancy flour; just don't let not having it stop you from making it.



PS  Marla's jewelry company is pretty neat-o, too.  Have a look, but cake is going to be a lot cheaper than these baubles.

PPS Here's another nice thing, cake porn!  I see very clearly that I need to up my game on the look of my cakes!

PPPS  Yes, of course I think you see it; I think you should see all of Věra Chytilová’s films!  I think my life is richer for  the three I have seen, and I wish I'd seen them sooner.  I also think my pressuring you to grab these riches, these treasures, like cakes and films, is perhaps just pressure in general, and it's not my intention to make you feel like you have another thing you need to do, or that your life will only be complete if you do such and such.  Take it or leave it, all of it.  Watch tiktok instead; you won't even have to make a decision in that case, because it. just. keeps. running. on.
