Rarely bake, but gave a sunken plum cake a go!Meera Sodha’s recipe for sunken plum, spelt and ginger cake
I got a new Aldi cake mixer off my mates for my birthday (see centre), and I baked a proper cake for the first time!
All the gear and no idea:
Went seriously wrong and had flour explosion. The recipe didn’t mention that ‘fold in’ meant using a spatula not wizzing it.
They didn’t rise properly. After speaking to mrs quoad he says you don’t add the flour before the eggs (it did go a bit like a cloggy paste). But by this stage I’m thinking it’s not a total disaster!
Whacked some whisked cream and jam in, decorated it:
Jobs a good un, first cake! Room for improvement, I’m pretty sure there shouldn’t be that much flour in my hair/the floor/the machines... plus they do look a bit flat. But overall I’m pretty fucking pleased with myself! Mary fucking Berry mates!

Gone all out today with my sour dough and treated the family to some baguettes. I didn't intend to treat them but when I followed the recipe in Tantine Bread I suddenly realised I'm made 2 kilos of dough.
It started last night with a yeast mix and a starter mix and then combined and proven throughout today.
Pretty chuffed for a first go.

That looks amazing
What is that?Ahh Edie you sweetheart
Nice baguettes frieda
I'm making a sort-of szarlotka, which is fun to say.

It's polish apple pie. You grate the pastry on top, which is good cos I'm shit with nicely rolled pastry. Even if I buy it pre rolled I end up stuck to it, tearing it, swearing and going off in a huff.

Anyone have an easy vegan and gluten free cake recipe?

I've made one today (a banana cake) I'll let you know how it turns out. I've made it before, but then it had to be nut free too so I tweaked the recipe and it was far too 'wholesome'

But, that wouldn't be the same as mr steev's recipe would it? Besides, I thought you were a fan of sharing experiences on here, rather than just using google?
But, I guess being consistent is hard when your motivation for being here is very different to most.
