Breakfast Cake may be made by taking enough bread sponge to make, when risen and baked, a cake about two inches thick ; knead into it a piece of butter the size of half an Qgg. After it is in the tin, put on the top little lumps of butter, and then cover it with white sugar
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
