Baking cakes...

Just thought I'd share this bad boy that I just bakedoff for the bro. I doubled up on all of the good shit (eggs, bananas and cocolate) and here you have the Double Choc Chip Banana Cake.

Anyone else into baking up a storm?

recipe plz!

Looks excellent, I wouldn't be adverse to whipping up some kick-ass kookies occasionally and the missus bakes some seriously mighty confections!!

Made a particularily good Orange and Poppy-seed cake recently, delish!

What you need:

8 ounce sugar (16 tablespoons worth)
10 ounce flour (20 tablespoons worth)
150g butter
4 medium eggs
6 bananas (must be brown and old so they taste very banana-ish. A good tip is to freeze old ones and then defrost so that they turn to mush)
Vanilla Essence
2 x bags of Choc Chips (frozen)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of bicarb

How to Make:

1. Melt butter and sugar together in a pan over a very low heat. Once melted, take off heat but do not let it cool and crystalise
   
2. Mash up bananas and add a healthy slosh of Vanilla essence, cover and allow to stand (I normally leave mine for a god two or three hours prior to baking so that they are awesome)
   
3. Put Flour, bicarb and salt in a cake mixing bowl
   
4. Add beaten eggs, banana and butter/sugar mix
   
5. Mix it up folding but not being to vigoruous
   
6. Fold in the frozen choc chips
   
7. Line a cake tin with paper and pour the whole mix into it
   
8. Whack it intoa pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 3 for 1 hour 40 minutes
   
9. Allow to cool in tin and once cool eough to pick up, remove from tin (still in paper) and stand on a cake stand cooler thing until fully cooled
   
10. Wrap with paper or foil and put in an airtight container for atleast three days for the flavour to develop, and then tuck in. You can eat straight away but after three days it's the most amazing cake in the world.
    

where do the apples, onions, creatine powder (hardcore formula!), gulcosamine sulphate and echinacea come into it then! ;)

That's the Nitro Cake..it's in the oven as I type

i like my cakes light and slightly on the damp side so they last that little bit longer

What like an offering/sacrifice or something?

Sorry, it's a Macho Kitchen, so cakes have to be hearty and more than a mouthful otherwise they simply will not be baked

Mad rep for that ^

i made an AWSOME chocolate cake the other day (recipe courtesy of clefty & nigella...) i heaped aload of raspberries in the middle with the chocolate butter icing, and stuck the rest on top. so good. the raspberries made the inside super moist & it was lush. even if i do say so myself! haha.

That 2 minute cake sure takes a while to cook.

I'm back at it again. I'm heading to Newcastle tomorrow to hang with the grandparents and I'm having a bake-off with my grandma using her recipe. Fully gonna wipe the floor, i'll let you know how I get on

i've had a really good cookie recipe for ages so this week i've been messing about with that. i made some nice ones with sugar stem ginger, and i also tried replacing half the butter with peanut butter which wasn't bad.

i just bought the babycakes book but i've not got round to buying any of the mad shit i need like xantham gum?? to make anything out of it

I made 50+ little Fairy Cakes recently for a few of our forums finest, which hopefully helped to put fuel in their tank before a cycle through Birmingham.
It reminded me of working seasons in the mountains, cooking the most amazing cakes for apres ski (actually board) consumption.... i like to think of myself as a bit of a Mr Kipling, despite my appearance...

dibs!!!

i scoffed one of those but according to my calculations there should have been at least 2 each? so somebody else was greedy :-)
i didn't realise you had done some of the catering otherwise i would have said thanks for your efforts.

mate - it wasn't necessary. It was good to see you - and to watch you work your magic with the lens.
:)
As for the distribution of cakey goodness... i blame the canadians ha, ha.

Chug it, due to a recent slandering of vegans, I challenge you to a bake off.

I will be in the US for the next two weeks, so it will have to be sometime mid July. This will be good for you, because you will need the extra weeks to study.

Which drinks on what day of the week is best for you? Let's set a date and appoint the judges.

By the way, if I was you I would be afraid.
