Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A real question. I'm rather hopeless. I can bake bread, but most other stuff I try turns out rather wrongly. May have a go at a sponge.

I like baking, and eating the results :-) Attempting a victoria sponge and an apple pie for the weekend.

I didn't see that thread but have just found a few recipes by googling "chocolate cake in a mug"!

Ruth - the key to good sponge is starting with all your ingredients at room temp so take the eggs out of the fridge if that's where you usually keep them a good couple of hours before you want to start

Also, whisk the butter and sugar until its just off white, if it still has a butter colour its not done enough

...and make sure you have enough ingredients for the size of tin :-) The Bero recipe is a 2 egg mixture for a 7inch sandwich tin, but my tins mean I have to use a 4 or 5 egg mixture :-)

...and the best thing about baking is that you get to lick the bowl ;-)

Licking the bowl isn't as good when you're baking bread :)
