JACK'S CAKE

Jack's Cake image

A recipe by xtricks at LJ, inspired by Captain Jack Harkness of the BBC TV series, Torchwood. "One night, Jack really, really wanted a cake. It was four-am and unlike civilized times (NY in the 1920s, the 43rd Century), everything was closed. Even the Weevils weren't stirring. Ianto had sworn Jack would get nothing but decaf if he called for anything less than an invasion of care bears. Jack knows just how resourceful he is and cakes are simple chemistry. He's a Time Agent. He can bake a cake. So he did."
