i need a hobby .any bakers out there??need an easy one to make to start withxxxx(:

Lisa. I love cakes so when you have finished I will test it out for you.

buy a cake mix from asda, add water, bake for ten mins... hey presto! xx

Lisa - do you want to do a sponge cake, or a fruit cake?

Basic Victoria Sponge Cake or Buns 4oz Flour 4oz marg 4oz sugar 2 eggs put all in a bowl and whisk til light in colour. put in bun tins and cook for 20 mins gas 5 - 375f - 190c or put in 2 x 7 inch sandwich tins and bake for 20-25 mins gas 4- 350f - 180c Tins should be greased and floured Cooked when top springs back when lightly pressed Sandwich together with jam/cream and decorate any way you wish when cooled. There you are can't get much easier than that

Lisa there was another thread yesterday about Banana Cake there were a few different recipes on there, maybe you could try one....or I will add a recipe later for you. Jacquie xxx

sponge i would say.the ones from asda are too easy.would like to start from scratch.will all the ingredientsxxxxx(:

mandy will try that one.seems an easy one to make.will then go to the advanced stage.but we'll see how this one turns outxxxx(:

good luck lisa! you're braver than me.. if it's not pre-mixed or microwaveable i'm lost...xx

will let you all know how it girls.fancy a piece when it's made???????xxxxx(:

jacq will have a look and put banana cake on my list.thanksxxxx(:

Two tips Lisa Whisk it until it is quite light in colour And this applies to all cakes........don't open the oven door too often and close it gently or that will make it fall in the middle. But you do need to check to see if the tins need turning after around ten minutes so cake not cooking one side more than other. Good luck

thank julie will keep that handy aswell.xxxxx(:
