After reading your post I’ll never take sticks of butter for granted again! I, too, am a fan of the marvelous Dump-It Cake and am admiring all your icing variations here. In fact, I haven’t made it in awhile and will do so soon using your changes – love the switch to brown sugar.

Spot on – it made me popular, and I put a tin which I’ve had for ages to good use. Will probably be making it again today. Aah, yes, if sticks of butter are not available then it could become a ‘chore’….but the results are worth it, I promise!

Many top tips Sally (which I've emailed to you as well). Read Oyibos online which is a great resource on Nigeria in general and the larger cities. Its also a good idea to bring some things you can't live without (that's true for mose expatriate moves though), and prepare to see a wonderful country, full of contradictions!

And I love volume measurements, though I wouldn’t try them in Heston Blumenthal type recipes . I love the ease with which this comes together, one stick of butter here, one cup of flour there….but I understand! Make it, you’ll have NO regrets. I promise you.

Perhaps I should do a post on how to use your giant cupcake – glad I could share something. Just read today that you should fill the base with 3 1/2 cups of batter nad the top with 2 1/2 cups….will give it a go!
