What did you bake today?What did you bake today?
The cookies thread got me thinking...I know a lot of the Wollies like to bake and I thought it would be a great idea to have all of the different recipes on the one thread - I know I'm always on the hunt for the next deadly sweet treat so please feel free to share! This is my latest offering: Frosted Yoghurt Orange Cake (it's yummy, and not too sweet!)
Ingredients: Cake 175g unsalted butter, melted and cooled (plus extra for greasing) 225g self-raising flour 175g caster sugar grated zest of 2 oranges 3 large eggs 150g pot of natural yoghurt Frosting 250g tub mascarpone 85g icing sugar 3 tbsp fine shred marmalade Heat oven to 180C/Gas 4. Grease a 1kg loaf tin, then line with a strip of parchment. Mix the flour, sugar and orange zest in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, melted butter and yoghurt together in a jug. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well. Tip the batter into the loaf tin, smooth the top and bake for 50mins-1 hour (until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean). Cool in the tin. To make the frosting beat the mascarpone, icing sugar and marmalade together with a spoon until well mixed. Remove the COLD cake from the tin and strip off lining paper. Spread the top with the frosting and pop in the fridge to chill. Return to room temp before eating. Enjoy! So c'mon ladies...what tempting treats have ya's got for everyone? -Let's eat Grandpa

Re: What did you bake today?
Do yeeha! It's well good and it's got lots of orange in it so it's practically healthy (or so I keep telling myself while I scoff slice after slice )
C'mon the rest of you! I know that there's some avid bakers on here, you've all tortured me some days with stories of scones and apple pies etc! Where are all the yummy recipes? -Let's eat Grandpa

babyhopesanddreams - in the absence of a drool icon I think the little licky dude on your avatar is most appropriate!
thebeesknees - would that brownie recipe work without the nuts? Not a fan of nuts in cakes but that recipe sounds much less labour intensive compared to the brownies I usually make! -Let's eat Grandpa

Yummiest Coffee Cake (from Nigella)
Ingredients 125g butter , at room temperature 125g caster sugar 2 eggs 125g self-raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 2 heaped tbsp coffee , dissolved in 100ml water (or up to 3 tbsp if want stronger coffee flavour) 100g walnut halves Icing 200g butter 2-300g icing sugar METHOD 1.Heat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/fan 3. Line a deep 18cm loose-based or springform cake tin. Beat the butter and sugar together with electric beaters and then beat in the eggs, flour and baking powder. 2.Beat in 1 tbsp of the coffee mixture and then add up to another tbsp little by little until the mixture drops easily off the spoon. Keep the rest of the coffee mixture for the icing. 3.Stir in half the walnuts, snapping them in half as you drop them into the bowl. Spoon into the tin, level the top and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Cool. 4.To make the icing, beat the butter until soft and then beat in 200g icing sugar followed by the remaining coffee mixture, little by little. Stop when you have a depth of colour and flavour that you like. If the icing looks a little soft, beat in extra icing sugar. 5.Cut the cake into 2 slices horizontally and then sandwich the layers together with some of the icing, you need a reasonably thick layer. Ice the top of the cake with the rest of the icing and decorate with the rest of the walnuts
Re: What did you bake today?
Hi Elizabeth, i'm confused what you mean by the direction above! Can you explain it in simpler tems for me please thanks Re: What did you bake today?
Didn't bake today but made buns with vanilla butter icing at the weekend. One of the girls in work got engaged over the weekend so made them for Monday for her. Decorated the icing with pearl toppings I got in Tesco.
Re: What did you bake today?

I want to get back to baking before maternity leave. my favourute 'heart attack' baking is carmel squares. SO SO many calorires
Re: What did you bake today?
Hey Dot, I think what EB meant was that you pour some of the mayo mix in, then some water, then some mayo mix etc until you've finished with the water and the last bit to be mixed in is the last drop of the mayo mix (I stand to be corrected though?) Yonex - peppermint squares - YUM! -Let's eat Grandpa
-Let's eat, Grandpa Correct punctuation can save lives... Re: What did you bake today?
The sugar, eggs, vanilla essence and mayo should be in one bowl. To this add a bit of the flour, then some water, then some flour etc until they are all gone. You should end with adding the flour last. Its a technical thing so it all becomes incorporated properly. Hope that helps Also one tin will do if you want. I use 2 sometimes and put butter cream between the two Re: What did you bake today?
I didn't make this today,but I have made it twice since christmas,
baileys, malteser and chocolate roulade, ingredients 4 large eggs 100g caster sugar 65g self-raising flour 40g Cocoa powder 220ml cream 2 tablespoons Baileys 1 tablespoon icing sugar 1 bag of maltesers Tips from the chef The more you whisk up the eggs and sugar the lighter your sponge will be. Instructions Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. Grease and line a 33 x 23cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment. For the sponge, place the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Either in an electric food mixer or using an electric hand whisk, beat the mixture until it is pale, light and frothy. Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and carefully fold in to the egg mixture, using a metal spoon Pour in to the lined tin and spread out into the corners. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 8-10minutes until springy and the sides are shrinking away from the edge of the tin. Place a piece of baking parchment bigger than the Swiss roll on the work surface. Invert the cake on to the paper and and peel away the baking parchment. Roll up (from the longer edge) using the paper, rolling it up with the paper inside. Set aside to cool. While the cake is cooling, whip the cream and then stir through the icing sugar and Baileys. Crush the maltesers lightly in the bag Once the cake is cool carefully unwrap, remove the paper and spread with the Baileys cream. Sprinkle with the crushed maltezers. Roll back up and serve.!!! It is yummy and so easy
