What are you baking?

[Saffy]

My sister made me a cake. It was a devil's food cake and it was delicious.

Sugared jam cake Theory is it should be like an enormous jam doughnut. It’s looking pretty good. Taste will be established tomorrow

 

[Saffy]

I found a recipe for a cake on the internet which I thought I'd give a go. It's made from Shreddies and is very similar to a Weetabix cake I've had at Slimming World. This has loads of sugar in it though.
It's not too bad, bit like a tea loaf and has quite a chewy crust. That'll be the sugar.

I don't really do subtle, this is a chocolate chip chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I'm blaming the presentation on the four year old who helped:

 

[Saffy]

Chocolate chunk brownies. The smell in the kitchen is devine.
I've had a go at making a sourdough starter too.

 

[Saffy]

Lemon and poppy seed cake. Need to find a new hobby or we might need a bigger freezer. Or most likely, pants.

 

[clicker]

This might end up as a lemon drizzle cake .
If it turns out rubbish I'm blaming Mary Berry.

 

[clicker]

It split..but that lets in more drizzle .

 

[wtfftw]

Toddler went rogue but they do taste ok.

 

[TopCat]

I started a sourdough starter this week. My first ever I think.
I put some flour and water together and added a yogurt based drink my HM assured was good for hangover. I have added further flour then left alone for a couple of days.
I want to bake with it tomorrow. Make a sourdough boule that stands up and stands out.

 

[TopCat]

It bubbles and looks and smells nice.

 

[Saffy]

A rough looking passion fruit coconut cream cake. There's 23 passion fruits in this! I had to make a syrup and curd for it. It better bloody well taste nice

 

[Biddlybee]

Did it? Can we see the inside?

 

[clicker]

It looks and sounds lovely. You'd get a handshake from me.

 

[Saffy]

I didn't take a photo!
It did taste lovely though. I baked it for a cake club I was trying out. I was so worried that no one was going to like it but I only came home with a small piece of it.

 

[BoatieBird]

I like the sound of cake club

 

[polly]

Saffy pleeease can we have the recipe? It looks and sounds like sexytime

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Got all the ingredients for a Christmas cake today.
Steeping the fruit overnight in whisky....recipe calls for half a glass...I put in half a large wine glass
Will get started on the cake tomorrow. It's a gluten free cake so I'm hoping it works out alright.

You know what they say...
The first rule of Cake Club is:
You do not talk about Cake Club.

The second rule of Cake Club is:
You do not talk about Cake Club.

Does anyone have a good recipe for carrot cake? Last time I attempted it I used a recipe which google offered up, which provided a hideous result. I haven’t had the heart to try again, but if anyone’s got a we’ll proven recipe then I probably should have another go.

I've not actually tried this one but the recipes in this series are generally good, and the article bit where she compares different recipes is useful for tweaking stuff depending on how you want it to turn out.

I LOVE that series - such a good idea and really reliable. The only one I've ever tried that I didn't like was the apple crumble. It's got about half the sugar it needs and the crumble:fruit ratio is all off (too much fruit).

I did a banana tea loaf for my colleagues yesterday. They all told me to "thank my wife for the cake".

Yeah her idea of what "perfect" banana bread should be like is all kinds of WRONG and fucked up but I still use it as a base with a few changes

It's Ruby from last year's Bake Off recipe. It was lush.

Would vanilla essence work instead of vanilla bean paste? Only because I have an opened bottle and have never heard of bean paste.
