I was craving something sweet the other night, and since this only needs about 25 minutes in the oven, I thought I'd have a go, so I started baking at 9pm!! Adapted it slightly into some big cherry and almond buns - satisfied the sweet craving perfectly!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491620286385649324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-24413757666358605572012-05-18T13:02:44.828+01:002012-05-18T13:02:44.828+01:00Thus book looks amazing, the illustrations are lov...Thus book looks amazing, the illustrations are lovely! xxRachel, Cold Kneeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947310623671217765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211816448136305927.post-14262377896488965652012-05-17T21:41:26.171+01:002012-05-17T21:41:26.171+01:00Ah they all look so yummy!

I love your advice and it's def not teaching granny to suck eggs. It's teaching people your way of baking. If it's obvious to some, so be it, can't please everyone. <br />I've been baking too many cakes of late and it's WELL showing. But it's worth it. I am happiest when eating lush stuff so I can't have my cake and eat it....oh, I can...<br />Brill advice re knowing when a cake is done.<br />I often make a Victoria sandwich or a loaf lemon drizzle but will try a tray cake soon I think.<br />I've been making microwave mug cakes recently.

I always think of an egg as being equivalent to 2 oz of the other ingredients then proportion it out to the amount I need. Its a yummy cake and like you said you can vary it so much too. Your new book looks lovely as well. I love cinnamon doughnuts and have been missing Ikea's since they stopped making them (although their presentation isn't quite up to the book's!)
