Anyone know any good cake recepies??
 

I have a home eacinomics test on monday and i have to make a cake and bring it in to school and decorate it.does anyone know any good recepies??

lol type in cake recipes on the net orr use a recipe book orr

Add Flour, Sugar, Eggs and Margarine together and you have a cake haha! I made chocolate crossiants on Friday for Food Tech :P

what sort of cake do you fancy making??? Chocolate, victoria sponge, carot cake?

Do you have to make one big cake or can you make cup cakes? I have a lovely recipe for lemon cupcakes

well i dont want to do one of the more healthy cake's so that rules out carrot cake and choclate cakes ar too rich so i suppose il do a sponge cake!!

ammm....im not too sure.il find out tommorow.

surprisingly carrot cake isnt that healthy.... it still has the same amount of sugar in it but has the extra sweetness of carrots.

Heres a nice sponge cake one:
Ingredients
175g unsalted butter
175g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
175g self-raising flour
Filling
3 tbsp strawberry jam
500ml double cream
Method
1. Set the oven to 180C/gas 4. Lightly butter two sandwich tins, each with a diameter of 20cm.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar together until light & fluffy, then add the beaten egg a bit at a time.

3. Fold in the sifted flour & spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tins.

4. Bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool & then remove from the tins.

5. Whip cream until thick & use it to fill the sponge with the jam.

6. Dust liberally with icing sugar to serve.

thanks i love jam soo i cant wait!!:cheer2:

Victoria Sponge... yummy :P Id make chocolate cake woo, umm chocolate brownies. Were making a two course meal after half term haha

Yes, I know some good cake recipies.

i also need to decorate the cake in a Holloween theme.what can i use that would suit a sponge cake???/

Orange icing haha, or icing sugar with red and yella food colouring. Maybe use sweets to decorate

the only think about orange icing is that you have to put in a bit of orange!!:yuk:i like orange but not i icing,on ckes or in choclate!!but thanks i never thought about using sweets!

You could use white icing a do a ghost, orange food colouring to the icing and do a pumpkin

just found this wicked pic..... simple to do, instead of using just a dusting of icing sugar on top, make some icing mix using icing sugar and water in two pots, add some black colouring to one and then decorate as the following:

Kiz, the icing on that looks like buttercream ummm :P yummy

Not really lol, haha i mean the colour orange

its looks good doesnt it.... i might have to make it myself for my kids

Now this truely is a groovy grousome cake
Cake

oh thanls that looke gret and it will scare the teacher of too:devil:lol

It seems pretty simple to do too.... just a basic sponge but with added food colouring in the right places

I've just used your sponge cake recipe Kiz, they've just come out the oven.

OOOOOOOhhhh...... how did it go?????

Do they smell nice?

Yeah, I can't wait to eat it!!! :tongue:
