bake a cake

I had this idea for years, having no oven made me push it off. Now that I have access to one, I should start to learn how to bake a cake.

In the past, with my mum. Cakes are tasty.

Never done anythign like this before. Can’t cook etc. I am a guy but I would love to do this!

It looks rubbish, but for a first attempt I did okay. lol

It tasted good anyway, I’m going to make a chocolate one soon.

regardless of not having a sieve. && the mother forgot to buy my chocolate so it’s just gonna be a normal sponge. It’s probs going to be rubbish but oh well, it’s only my first attempt.

Picture shall be up when it’s done.

So, we have all the ingredients…but the mother has lost the sieve. I was all up for doing it today, now I have to wait even longer.

For something so simple it’s awfully complicated.
But, just need to get some sugar then it is cake time. :D

^{Oh wait… I DID bake a cake!}

Done! A birthday afternoon project for my brother, my son, and I. We made it (with 3 layers of cakey goodness, a shot of frangelico and shakes of sugar-beadlings lovingly raining down upon chocolaty icing), and then we took the sucker down. It went down in flames (tiny ones, on the ends of little coloured candles). And it was delicious.

I told my mum I wanted to bake a cake last christmas, she comes home one day saying you get to cook today….she told the grandad to buy the ingredients they got me the ingredients to make mince pies. I specifically told her, and my grandad I want to make a normal, chocolate cake…I got really upset over it as well because I’d been asking her for ages to get me the ingredients for it and how much I wanted to do it and she though a mince pie would be the same…eugh, parents. >.>

I’ll have another bash at it now it’s half term, let’s hope they get it right this time.

..just baked another cake…looks like I’m getting better at this.

A few weeks ago I realized this would be a great way to use left-over eggs. So, baking a cake may take place more frequently for me in the future.
