Wifey said "why don't you make yourself useful and help me in the kitchen. I am going to bake a cake."
Once baked I had to make sure that both the layers were exactly one on top of the other. It was not an easy task as the cake was very very soft and any mishandling would break it.
Me "That's good. So what do you want me to do?"
Wifey "why don't you get the baking dish ready by putting in the parchment paper, and make sure you do it the right way. Last time you did it, all my batter leaked out into the pan"
Now this was a challenge for me as I know how bad and sticky it will be if the batter leaks out.
The pan being circular made it all the more difficult. So I put my engineering skills into use and made some sort of frills (sewing skills here) so that there was no open ends left for leakage.
After greasing the pan, sticking in the paper was tricky but finally managed it with some fine tuning
Pouring in the batter was wifey's department as she had to make sure that it was equally distributed in both the pans.

I tried my best and this is how the second layer finally landed on the first one
After a little bit of cajoling and pushing, I managed to align both the layers.
Wifey took over and did the icing part and the final product was not bad I must say.
Oh by the way, the batter did not leak.

Wow...great job Joe & Marie. Joe, now you are officially certified Baker assistant! Hope Marie will agree with me!
That looks so good. Jim is pretty handy in the kitchen probably more than I am.
That looks delicious! But is the parchment paper on one pan and not the other?
Well done, you! :-)
Greetings from London.
I'm impressed. Parchment paper is not easy to work with slithering all over while you try to finagle it into the tin. Great job. Looks delicious too!
Good job Joe - Beena
A nice happy story of cooperation.
@jo(e) The parchment paper is there in both the pans. In one the height is less hence not very visible after pouring the batter.
My mouth watereth. Hah . Nice teamwork!
Super Joe..... your eye for perfection is commendable. Helping so lovingly and caring. I am sure you both had a delightful Easter. - Jean Marcedo
Joe,Small activities gain a transcedence when you set your eyes on the subject 👌
COVID Teamwork
Madam Marie we miss your cheese cake, I'm sure after all these years together with madam, joe sir you would have enjoyed eating different types of cakes as well as preparing cakes.
You both did a good job with the cake. Looks delicious, too.
Looks delicious, but so much work and it will break anyway at the latest in your mouth, lol !
That cake looks amazing. I wish I was over at your place right now!
That's what I like to see -- teamwork! It looks absolutely gorgeous and delicious, too. Well done!

Beautiful looking cake, sir! Beautiful shape to the parchment too! But one question.... why grease the pan if you are using parchment? We typically use parchment to avoid having to use oil or grease in the pan. It typically lifts right out with the parchment. Just curious.
PipeTobacco
@Pipe Tobacco - Your point is valid, but here I had to do it so that the paper sticks to the pan. Otherwise the paper may lift up causing the batter to run out if it is not adhered to the pan. Next time I will try as per what you have suggested, provided it is a square or rectangular pan (where the nicks on the paper is minimal)
That's amazing! Looks yummy!!!
Really well lined tray. Is that what made the cake so good ?
