What have you baked this week?

well, not the same time iyswim - they don't need 3 hours!

Was that in the microwave or the oven anniebach?

I do them in the microwave then finish them off in the oven to crisp them up, unless the oven is on for longer for a casserole or something, in which case they go in at the same time.

I suppose I could make a pudding at the same time .....

A potato

DH got there first (I am a bit slow at the moment)

Oven turned off, they may dry out a bit more ready for roast red pepper and roast tomato soup!

I do like courgette cake, and ginger cake, and scones, and Victoria sponge, and any really (but not the buttercream on cupcakes) so I am going to leave this thread now.


Oh - is that a Mary Berry type Bakewell tart or the Bakewell pudding you can buy in Bakewell Greyduster?

Other shops sell them too

Jalima was that beep beep beep the smoke detector going off?

I made some shortbread - it was rather nice and I am not the
world's greatest baker to say the least!

I don't usually bake (same reason as Teetime and Jalmina, but by mistake instead of ordering 3 courgettes from Sainsbury's, I ordered 3 packs . So going on the internet, I found a recipe for courgette loaf cake - and very good it has turned out to be! I would show you a picture, but DH and I have eaten most of it. I also made a date and apple crumble using the last of our apples on Sunday. It's not been a good week for thighs (or hips or waists....)

Lemon drizzle tray bake so far this week but today I bought some bramleys and plan to make an apple pie.

I bake a tray bake every week for work that we sell for charity. It also means I can experiment on them with flavour combinations. This week I made Peach Melba traybake. Maybe I'll try some weirder combinations like that lady on The Vicar of Dibley

Nothing as yet - we have tried to be good and avoid cake this week (nearly), but on Friday it will be cupcakes for GS's football team refreshment stall, a Bakewell tart for DH because I've been horrid to him the last couple of days, and a steak and kidney pie for Sunday lunch.

Hilltop will you share your ginger cake recipe on here please?

Found some malt in a newly opened health food shop, so I dug out an old receipe of my MILs, which had been past to her through family and made Malt Loaf using Rye flour as I am wheat interolerant.

Went down well with all family members, and was really good with Lancashire or Cheshire cheese! Will have to make Ginger cake tomorrow for DH, it is a popular addition to their Friday walking group.

Teetime ditto

although I have a tray of tomatoes roasting in the oven - and another of red peppers
oh! beep beep beep

Good heavens you wouldn't ask that question if you had seen my thighs- of course I haven't baked anything I would eat it- Disaster!!

Sponge tray bake, parkin and flapjack - some to eat and some to freeze.

Apple crumble on Sunday using our own apples and home made crumble.
Today I made a fat free egg sponge, easiest recipe ever, it just wants to float away. Filled with top quality strawberry jam and double cream.

Just got back to baking this last couple of weeks following a break of several years.

Peeled all the scabby and bruised apples which DH keeps bringing in. Sliced them up and filled the pan , put it on and then went to clear the condensation in the bathroom. Guess what lots of blackened apple baked on and a house reeking of smoke. Does that count? I'm feeling very inadequate at the moment.

A lovely moist chocolate and coconut cake - one of the easiest I've ever made, and one of the best!!

Baked lemon cheesecake sounds delicious Tizliz. And yes cupcakes count Luckygirl! Did you pass off the M&S pie as your own? If so and no one is the wiser then I'd chalk that up as a successful 'bake' .

Not even a potato. Oh good, Bake Off tonight!

Luckygirl
I made apple crumble on Sunday, own apples, own crumble.
Yesterday made a dozen fruit scones ( only because DH doesn't like shop bought ones.)

I NEVER bake except OH suggested that a new pudding for our guests might be a good idea and I made - very successfully - a baked lemon cheesecake on Sunday. Height of sophistication I will be on GBBO soon

Oh - no, wait a minute - I helped my DGD make cup cakes on Monday.

I haven't baked this decade let alone this week
