You are an evil genius.  Is this really no kneed dough? I'd imagine it comes out somewhat like pound cake.

OMG that looks good. I would maybe save some of the syrup and make a sugar glaze with it.

Had to look up pond cake, yes that's it. Equal parts sugar butter flour and some eggs. No kneading, just with the mixer. Glaze sounds good.

The cake didn't come up very much, probably too much water in the syrup, the dough was rather runny, but it tastes good and that's what it is about.

The beer:

OG 1059
FG 1029
30 IBU
60 EBC

77   % Munich 15 EBC (Dingemans)
 7,7 % Pale Chocolate 525 EBC (Thomas Fawcett)
 7,7 % Cara 120 EBC (Dingemans)
 7,7 % Rye Flakes

mash 60 min @ 69°C
boil 60 min

30  IBU Malling @ FWH
1,3 g/l Malling @ Whirlpool

Mutated Windsor @20°C umpteenth generation that is every time (re)propagated under UV.


Edit: If you like and make Chiabatta, replace a part of the flour by fine grind Rye Chocolate Malt flour, ~5-7% for starts. Gives a nice kick.
