nobody got it, but everyone loved it

Nobody there knew what Portal was - seriously, nobody - but they certainly liked the cake. People even asked for the recipe and took extra pieces home with them. ^_^ Here, have the photo they'd have shot for the 1956 recipe/magazine article:


"Baking with GLaDOS," Ladies' Home Journal, November 1956.

Looks tasty!

The best Portal cake implementation I've seen so far was by a friend of mine who has celiac disease, and is allergic to dairy and eggs. (You know the joke that fits here. ;) )

That'd still be easier than a gluten-free version. ^_^

It *was* gluten free (see celiac note). Also vegan. The texture was odd, but it was flavored with plenty of cocoa, so I couldn't detect any off flavors. I think the main ingredient was black bean flour.

ooooh rite. I always forget what celiac disease is, sorry.

I have a supposedly-genuinely-awesome flour mix recipe that I want to try for my own edification. I'm just fine with gluten but I know people who aren't.
