What's that you say? Indeed, I failed to mention the actual recipe about which I was waxing so poetic yesterday. Without further ado, meet the Busy Day Cake from The Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis. Sweet yet substantial, this simple cake requires just one bowl, can be worked up in an hour, and is proven to cure any malaise. Except, perhaps a malaise from eating too much cake.

I found out about this cake from someone else's poetic waxings--namely Molly at Orangette. Here's her adaptation of the recipe.

Have fun, and let me know when the cake's ready.

The very knowledge that there exists such a thing as a "Busy Day Cake" fills me with faith in the benevolence of the Universe.
