so I’m doing a report for school and was curious if was a cake or a soup. it sounded to me like it was a cake not a soup. But i’m not quite sure if someone would please tell me that would help me much. it sounds good. of only i were a good cook.

We’re having a Plath party with dinner and a double feature film (Sylvia and The Bell Jar). I’ll make this for dessert, thanks.

The recipe is kind of odd… and interresting!

Cooking is an adventure, it is those kind of recipes that makes cooking an art. Tomato and cake just do not sound right to my ear, and that is exactly why I will try your recipe, and I am pretty sure it will be one of the tastiest cakes I will ever bake.

Thank you!

John… I used to read Slyvia Plath back in University in South America… the idea of mixing poetry, irony and cooking is simply fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

The ingredients are easy to get for me. Guess I’m going to try it out for myself.

jb says: Hi Christina. I don’t find cakes easy. Need more practise I guess. But it’s a way of focussing on Sylvia, thinking about her thinking her way through it. Plus, you can eat it later.

Kind of an odd comment here…. but I accidentally stumbled across your blog and felt a kinship. You see my blog is titled Tomato Soup Cake. Yep, that’s really the name! I’m afraid it’s no way near as sophisticated and literary as yours though;-)

jb says: Hi Diane. Sylvia would’ve just loved your site. I certainly do.
