Cake Baking

[Ash]

I have a week off, I'm going to spend half of it trying to get fit so I can go back to rugby training and the other half baking cakes.

That said, I'm not a bad cook but I have NEVER done any baking.

So does anyone have any nice simple cake recipes they could share with me so I can make them?

[Black Velvet]

I could give you the receipe of my famous chocolatemousse, with a ground of cake?

But I don't like sharing my secret :p

haha sure why not.

Don't expect anything worth while though :LOL:.

Anyone else want one?

[Gem]

:LOL: Dude that ROCKS!

It's just 4oz self raising flour
4oz marg
4oz caster sugar
2 eggs
1tea spoon baking powder

You can replace some of the flour with coco powder to make it chocolate.

No idea what that is in grams.

[Black Velvet]

Yeah I'll have a check on poisoning first :p

Ok, shopping list....

Self raising flour
Margerine (can I not use butter?)
Caster Sugar
Eggs
Baking Powder
Tea Spoon
Scales

Anything else?

[Suzie.]

i once made this cake out of a barbie doll.


though it wasn't really a cake so much a doll superglued to a mat with a flowery dress made out of frosting...

[Gem]

No, use Marg.

You wanna use that for each layer.

If you wanna do butter cream for the middle it's just equal ammounts of butter and icing sugar. (eg./ 4oz butter, 4oz icing sugar). If you wanna make it chocolate just throw in some melted chocolate.

Or add lemon juice to the sponge and butter cream mix... Mmmmmm.
Then add some lemon juice and rind (sp?)to some icing sugar for the top of the cake. Phwoar.

Or you can do the same with lime.

Oh and an important thing, cook at 170 degree (I think that is 5 or 6 gas) for half an hour. Don't open it half way or it'll cave in!

[Suzie.]

Yep Yep!

[Glenn Stefani]

Lots of the recipes so far involve too much effort (the creaming all the butter and sugar and shit takes me too long) so this is one you can make really easily if you like Ash;

6 oz self-raising flour
6 oz caster sugar
2 eggs
6-7 tablespoons of water
6 tablespoons of vegetable/sunflower oil
a few drops of vanilla essence/ some cocoa powder (depending on your preference of flavour)

Mix flour and sugar in a bowl.
Make a 'well' in the middle of sugar and flour.
Add 2 eggs.
Add water, oil and vanilla essence/cocoa.
Mix it all round thoroughly (no lumps)
Cut greaseproof paper to fit the tin (it's easier to make fairy cakes but probably less manly:p )
Pour in mixture and cook for 20-25 mins at gas mark 6 (check it half way and move round to cook evenly).
Place on a rack to cool and then decorate with whatever (vanilla frosting is delicious!)

Easiest cake recipe......ever!

I want cake now:yesey:

[Gleep]

Best.Thread.Ever.

I love making cakes :happy: I used to make them for my boyfriend all the time till my oven started screwing up and they wouldn't do in the middle :(

I'll find some of my old recipies in a bit :yesey:

You lot have inspired me to make cakes. I think I might make cupcakes for Valentine's Day...

That's the most random opposite combination to have Ash :p Fitness training and baking.

Someone give me a good homemade Fudge recipie!!!

[reenap]

Chocolate Biscuit Cake:

Ingredients

300g (12 oz) digestive biscuits

50g (2 oz) dried fruit - raisins or chopped dates

50g (2 oz) flaked almonds

100g (4 oz) margarine

1 rounded tablespoon of golden syrup or maple syrup

100g (4 oz) plain chocolate

Instructions

1) First, Grease a baking tray.

2) Weigh out 300g (12 oz) of biscuits. Put the digestive biscuits into a plastic bag and tie a knot in the top. Bash the biscuits gently with the rolling pin until you have crumbs. (Or put the biscuits in a food mixer to make crumbs.)

3) Put the fruit and nuts into a mixing bowl with the digestive biscuit crumbs.

4) Break the chocolate into squares, and put it into small bowl with the margarine and syrup. Melt them together by putting the bowl into a larger bowl half full of boiling water.

5) Pour the melted margarine and chocolate over the biscuit crumbs and stir with a wooden spoon until all the crumbs are chocolatey.

6) Tip the chocolate biscuit mixture into the greased cake tin. Spread it out evenly and press it down all over with the spoon.

7) Put your chocolate biscuit cake in the fridge for at least an hour. Cut it into about 12 slices.

I especially like the biscuit bashing part, good stress buster. ;)

Chocolate Fudge Icing

Woo! And it has old school measurements :D

2oz of butter/marg
3 tablespoons of milk
Few drops of vanilla essence
2 tablepoons of cocoa
8oz of icing sugar

1. Melt butter and milk (microwave works well if you keep an eye on it)
2. Stir in vanilla essence and cocoa (sieve the cocoa or the icing will be mega lumpy)
3. Beat in the icing sugar (sieve this as well)

These measurements make uber loads of icing though, so you know.

:D

My speciality is Welsh Cakes, but means you don't like the Welsh I'm not telling you how to make them :p

But My other one is This Cake :happy:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/perkins65@hotmail.com/piece.jpg

You'll need,
10 oz of Flour,
10 oz of sugar,
10 oz of margerine, I use Stork.
5 medium eggs,
Jam, Strawberries and cream.

Ok, mix the sugar and the marg together, Make sure the marg is warmish, (not from the fridge) it's easier to mix.
Add the eggs & whisk, an electric whisk is better, as it stops the eggs curdling.
Add the flour and whisk.
Grease two tins, add mixture evenly.
Put in oven, usually 180 degrees, (don't know gas sorry).
Have a look after a while, if the sponge is brown, take out, stick a knife in the middle, if nothing is on the knife, it's done.
Cool it, then add strawberries, jam and cream :D

Sounds complicated, but it's really easy to make :happy:

You have such a nice kitchen. My mum would love you.

[Ash]

It was nice when we had it done 4ish years ago (the cooker is new). I worked in the trade then so basically picked it and got it all cheap and fitted for next to nowt.

I liked it then, not too keen now.

Chocolate Fudge Icing

Woo! And it has old school measurements :D

2oz of butter/marg
3 tablespoons of milk
Few drops of vanilla essence
2 tablepoons of cocoa
8oz of icing sugar

1. Melt butter and milk (microwave works well if you keep an eye on it)
2. Stir in vanilla essence and cocoa (sieve the cocoa or the icing will be mega lumpy)
3. Beat in the icing sugar (sieve this as well)

These measurements make uber loads of icing though, so you know.

:D

Sod it, im gonna make some and eat it out of the bowl!

^ = heaven in a bowl

Oh and someone mentioned those rice crispy cakes earlier, well here is the BEST EVER recipe for them :yesey:

3 x 65g Mars Bars, chopped
90g Butter
3 Cups Rice Crispies

TOPPING
200g Milk Chocolate, chopped
30g Butter

Grease on of those 19cm x 29cm I think they're called lamington pans, the rectangular ones...
Combine Mars Bars and butter in large saucepan, stir constantly over low heat (without boiling) until misture is smooth, then stir in Rice Crispies. Put this lot in the pan.
Then make the topping, melt the chocolate and butter in a pan over hot water and stir till it's smooth.
Spread this over your mixture in the pan, and put it in the fridge till it's set.

Those really are SO f'ing yummy :happy: My mum made them for me for my birthday once it was my most popular party as a kid cos the food was good :LOL:

Tomorrow I plan to make this:

Devil's Food Cake (revised)
Yield: 12 servings.

Ingredients
2 cups (400 g) sugar
½ cup + 2 tablespoons (150 g) butter, softened
2 eggs
2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup espresso or very strong coffee
Ingredients for frosting
½ cup butter
14 oz (400 g) semisweet dark chocolate (40-50% cocoa)
3 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 tablespoon hot espresso or very strong coffee

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C) and grease two 9 in (23 cm) cake tins.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Add one egg at a time, mix well between each.
4. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract and mix well. Then add coffee and mix well.
5. Divide into two equal portions and transfer to the cake tins.
6. Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, ca. 35-45 minutes. Let the cakes cool.
7. Slice each cake through the middle to make altogether four layers; if necessary remove the top of the cake by using a knife.
8. For the frosting, mix butter, chopped chocolate, syrup and coffee and heat in a double boiler until melted. Stir until smooth. Let it cool somewhat in the fridge. Use approximately one fifth of the frosting between each layer of the cake, coat the cake with the remaining two fifths of the frosting.
9. Cool the cake in the fridge to harden the frosting. Place the cake at room temperature 1-2 hours before it is served.

Variations
You may substitute the hot coffee with hot water.

I refuse to believe that cream cheese goes into cheesecake. I mean, it's called cheesecake, but it doesn't actually have cheese in it, does it? What sick individual would invent a cake out of cheese? :LOL:

Craaaazy world... :rolleyes:

Maybe I should've used something else..
Hmm.
It is rather tasty though.

mmm.... cheesecake.

[Magdalena]

My cheese cake tastes sexy.
I might take a pic of it, but it looks pretty gross and squishy.. :erm:

How Not To Make Buns,
by Tracee

1) Buy everything in a ready made pack, so you can't get it wrong. And begin :D
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200805.jpg

2) They told me it would make twelve, the lying bastards. Unless I've put way too much mixture in :stunned:
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200806.jpg

3) 10 minutes (oops that was 13) at 190 degrees in t'oven et voila!

Hey wait a minute... they'd better still be pink on the inside :mad:
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200807.jpg

4) Mix icing
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200808.jpg

5) OOOOH it turns pink when you put teh wat0r in!
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200809.jpg

6) Ice buns and try to disguise how badly you've done it with little rice-paper Tom & Jerries
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b19/tracee84/P8200810.jpg

Errr... I think my icing was too runny. Now I've got loads left over. I know!

7) Ice more :D

The pinkish mixture looks like pasted brains. :eek: Now with most people they'd think I was being derogatory, but with one of me fave drinks being nesquick, and nesquick being made from ground-up babies ;) (long story) I'd say that I've deliberated, cogitated and come to my canadian conclusion....

DELICIOUS :happy: (looking at least)!

Save me one for leeds :) , although it may be a bit stale! :(

WOOOO LEEEEEEEEDS! :D :D :happy:

Sorry. I'll go back to Kafka's cave now :$

I'll bring you a Shrek bun if you want.

Errrr... I can't promise they'll be edible anyway, so I can save you a pink Tom n Jerry one anyway if you want :LOL:

I'm gonna go around all day now saying "Excuse me Sir, have you seen my buns?"

Sorry :$

Johanne28 quotes says "Muse, the comical rock arrives on air"

the kitty logo says Club of the People who Miss having a Kitty
then Angeleyes quotes says "we'll look like the 3 lesbians of the board" as a reference to quotes that were in Mané's sig. :)

Oh she's evil. Thinks she knows it all and she knows nowt.

Never warned us not to cook in a bikini did she, nooo, and yes I am still bitter about that.

It was about this time that I first loosened her brainwashing hold over me. My buns are way better than hers.
And I look more like this: :LOL: :unsure: :stunned: :$ :LOL:
