Bits of flour that I didn’t fully incorporate into the batter stood out like sores. It was so hard to get these things right. What would I do if I couldn’t even make a chocolate cake right? A better person would have remixed the batter. Well, really a better person wouldn’t have needed to. I slid it into the preheated oven. The pale green door was browning around the edges. My mother had chosen the colour and now my husband and I were going to live the rest of my life with it.
