For those of you who know about baking and how it works, can you tell me what I did wrong?
I wanted to make a yummy almond pound cake with a glaze.
The only thing I changed was I put half white whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour.
I'm wondering if I beat it too much, too long.
It was sooo flaky! A big, crumbling mess. It just fell in pieces out of the pan.
I didn't even bother making the glaze. It tasted good though.
Well, depending upon who you asked. Tony said it tasted like corn bread. I said, "yeah, cornbread without the cornmeal and tastes like cake."
I asked the girls if they wanted any cake and they were immediately excited. Ash took a big bite and said, "Bread!" I sighed and said, "No, it's cake." She then dubbed it "Cake-Bread."
I give up.

I've had this happen before. With me it's because I tried dumping it out of the pan too fast. I was supposed to wait 10 min. or so before dumping it. I try and sneak in whole wheat flour all the time as well. I'm not always sure why cakes and breads mess up like that.
I don't bake so I'm sorry I have no idea why it turned out this way. The taste is all that matters to me, so if it tastes good, then it is good to go. :)
