Ok so first up - Chewy Gooey Flapjacks
Ingred: 140g/ 5oz butter 100g/ 3.5oz light muscovado sugar 2 heaped tablespoons golden syrup 350g / 12oz porridge oats 1tsp ground cinnamon Half teaspoon baking power 2 medium ripe bananas Heat The oven to 180c/ 160c fan oven or gas 4. Butter or line a Swiss roll tin. Melt together the butter, sugar an syrup in a large pan over a low heat then stir in the oats, cinnamon baking powder and a pinch of salt until well combined. (I defy u not to be eating this as you go along!! So yum!) Mash the bananas and add to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Tip into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with the back of a metal spoon.bake for 20-25 mins or until the edges are beginning to brown. The mixture will feel fairly firm to touch. Transfer the tin to a wire rack and cut the mixture into bars while still hot. Leave until completely cold before removing. Sorry if there are typos but I'm on my phone! Will post a few of the others from my pc in work tomorrow - they are all so easy! Re: What did you bake today?

Next up - the Coconut cake!
Ingredients: 175g / 6oz butter, softened 175g / 6oz Golden Caster Sugar 175g / 6oz Self Raising flous 1.5 tsp baking powder 3 eggs, beaten 50g / 2oz desicated coconut 2 tbsp coconut cream or single cream (I've made it without the cream too and it works perfectly) For the buttercream filling and topping: 300g / 10oz icing sugar 150g butter (make sure it's been left at room temp to soften) 5tbsp raspberry jam Method: 1. Heat the over to 180c / 160c fan over / gas 4. Line 2 8 inch sandwich tins. 2. Mix the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs until smooth (this can be done in a food processor if you have a decent one!). Gently stir in the coconut and cream. 3. Divide the mixture between the 2 tins and smooth the top. Bake for 25 mins until even and golden and firm. Loosen the edges and leave in the tins for 5 mins, then turn onto a wire rack to cool. Peel off the baking paper. 4. Make the buttercream: beat together the icing sugar and butter until smooth - I sometimes throw in some more coconut into the icing for a bit more coconut taste. Spread one sponge with the jam and top with some of the buttercream. Place the other cake on top and swirl the remaining buttercream on top of the cake. 5. Voila - Done! Re: What did you bake today?
Next - the muffins:
Ingredients: 250g Self Raising flour 125g catser sugar 12g cocoa powder 50g chocolate chips (i use the chocolate drops from Lidl as they hold their shape and don't melt into the mixture - they look better for the top of the muffins that way too) 1 tsp baking powder 1 large egg 150ml milk 0.5 tsp vanilla essence 125g margarine For fruit muffins substitute the cocoa powder and choc chips with any dried fruit of your choice Method: 1. Preheat oven to 175c / 325f / gas 3 2. Melt the margarine and allow to cool. 3. In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. 4. Mix the egg, milk and vanilla essence into the cooled margarine. 5. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix to make a very soft mixture. 6. Spoon into muffin cases - fill them about two thirds of the way. I threw some extra choc ships over the top then just to make them look good 7. Bake for 20 - 30 mins until cooked through. Yummy! Re: What did you bake today?
Look what I made a couple of weeks ago and am making again tomorrow because it was such a hit!

Re: What did you bake today?
Malteasers just on top in this one as there is choc fudge in the middle. You could half some malteasers and put in middle if you wanted but would make it very heavy..
Recipe: For the cake: 225g margarine 225g caster sugar 4 large eggs 225g plain flour tsp baking powder 2 tbls cocoa powder (for extra moistness you can throw in 2 desert spoons of golden syrup- i didn't as the middle has sank on me before) For the fudge icing: 75g margarine 4 tbls milk 1 heaped desert spoon of cocoa powder 375g icing sugar To decorate: Large share bag of malteasers (cinema size) Cadburys fingers or equivilant Oven: 180 degrees/ Gas 4.5 Time: 30-40 mins (or until there is no mixture coming away from knife) Method: Beat the margarine and the caster sugar in a bowl. Separately beat the four eggs in a different bowl. Sieve the flour and the baking powder into the margarine and caster sugar mix. Beat together and add the eggs to the mix. In a separate bowl, add a drop of boiling water to the cocoa powder and mix until it resembles a paste. Add to the main mixture and beat well. Pour the mixture evenly into two round 7" tins. Place in pre-heated oven in centre tray. For the fudge icing, melt the margarine in a pot and add the milk and cocoa powder. Add to the icing sugar and beat. (If it is too runny add extra icing sugar- it should be stiff so it doesn't run off cake) Spread over one section of cake and make a sandwich. Spread remaining over top and sides. Make extra if needed. Before the icing sets, put cadburys fingers around edge of cake and malteasers on top. Place in fridge for an hour for fudge to set- delicious!!

That looks delicious eefc...but also a bit like those bally things you put over car seats to help your back!! Big in the 80's..my auntie had one and Oh my God did we think she was posh!!
Anyone know why my brown bread is stodgy in the middle and goes off reaaally quickly. I use a wet mixture and cook at 180 degrees. Re: What did you bake today?
Emme do you store your brown bread in an airtight container? And I am still looking for a nice brown bread recipe that isn't too heavy so I cannot help you with that one.(it may not have been cooked long enough though)
Re: What did you bake today?
We had an International Day in school last Thurs which I organised. So for the staff I baked cupcakes and chocolate biscuit cake. I bought rice paper flags on ebay for the top of the cakes.
Re: What did you bake today?
Wow, Sorrento wife, that's a whole lot of cupcakes!
I had a bit of a baking-fest this weekend. On Saturday I made a 4 layer chocolate and caramel cake, sandwiched with caramel and covered in chocolate ganache. It's more than 1000 calories a slice but super yum. Also made chocolate krispie buns for my brother who can't eat cake - lots of smarties and marshmallows. Then I made 2 dozen buns on Sunday to keep DD occupied for half an hour. I ran out of eggs at that point so I couldn't make the brown soda I intended. I was planning to try the Rachel Allen recipe, haven't used it before, but her white soda turned out perfectly for me, so fingers crossed! I can post it if it works.
Re: What did you bake today?
How long will biscuit cake keep for?
Just biscuits, chocolate, butter & condensed milk.
Re: What did you bake today?
I find it keeps a few days at least. I usually cut it up once it has set and put the pieces into a lunch box. It goes a bit hard after a few days but reckon if it wasn't cut it would prob last longer.
