The Poundcake/Cupcake Conundrum
Tuesday morning, Tanya and I hopped over to Harris Teeter (or as we call it, Harry Teets (http://www.harristeeter.com/)) so she could get St. Pat's Day cupcakes for work. While there I spotted poundcake (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/search/label/Poundcake). Try as I might, I could not resist its siren call, so we left with cakes, cup and pound.
I must say Harry Teets makes a smooth poundcake. A bit dry around the edges, but the center was dense yet fluffy, moist and buttery. Certainly one of the best I've ever gotten from a supermarket bakery. I was ready to give it a simple write-up after work, but then I ate one of the extra cupcakes Tanya brought home. Horror of horrors! The cakes were the same!
What trickery be this, 'o bakers of Harry Teets? Was my poundcake simply normal cake in block form, or were the cupcakes poundcake in heavily frosted cup shapes? Why must you torture me with this riddle baked in an enigma iced with a puzzle? So distraught was I that needed to wait an entire day before eating a second cupcake, and I'm not sure when I polished off the poundcake.
For this sorcerous feat that caused me to be uncharacteristically incoherent and uncoordinated on St. Patrick's Day, I vow to never again eat what is claimed to be two different types of cake from Harry Teets on the same day.
Unless they are really, really different.
