Cakes

[Goat]

Anybody got any really nice cake recipes? My daughter is doing cookery in School and has got the cooking bug, so at the weekend, we are gonna bake some cakes and all that jazz. But im pretty bad when it comes to cooking and my Missus doesnt really know any recipes.

Ive had a look on the internetwebs, but maybe somebody has their own special thing we could try.

If so, it has to be fairly idiot proof, cos as said, I aint got a clue with regards cooking.

A nice fudge or sponge cake would be superb.

Already got some flapjacks and sponge cake recipes ready to go.

We have a great Sour Cream Chocolate cake recipe! You can make either muffins or a two layer cake out of it. Its seriously yummy and the frosting is to die for! Ask Dylan, he has been known just to make up the frosting and just eat it off a spoon

Its quite simple to make too. Let me know if your interested and I'll PM you the recipe!

Spot on WhiteBootMan, but Gas Mark 4! Orange rind is equally awesome. Or you could add 1oz cocoa powder for a chocolate mix! And chocolate chips - as many as you like! Good luck

Have to second this recipe. Exactly the same as I do, but I use 8oz of everything, and 4 eggs. More cake mix to lick see?

Stork and Icing sugar I think.

Get a big slab of the margerine, and just keep adding icing sugar while mixing it up. Can't really go wrong.

Cake mix is win.

 

[devonblue]

i'd get her making really stodgy chocolate brownies, and hope she enjoyed it and kept on making them.

important that you pick something you like, for when you taste it.

p.s. let cold black coffee soak into the mix before putting in oven apparently.
