Who wants to join me in a recipe sharing and scoffing thread using the Great British Bake Off as an excuse?
This year I want to try and make something related to the 'theme' each week so for Cake Week it was Chocolate and Banana cake:
Chocolate and banana cake
6oz soft brown sugar 8.5oz SR flour
4oz butter 3-4 mashed bananas
2 eggs 4oz chocolate chips
- Oven 170C. Grease and line 8”/20cm round tin
- Beat the butter and sugar, add eggs
- Add flour chocolate chips and bananas
- Bake 40-45mins
And for Biscuit Week it was Monkey Puzzle biscuits:
Monkey Puzzle Biscuits (makes about 20)
2½oz plain flour
1oz Corn Flakes
1½ tbsp cocoa

Chocolate icing!
- Sieve flour and cocoa.
- Cream butter and syrup until soft, add flour mixture and slightly crushed Corn Flakes
- Put walnut-sized lumps on greased baking sheet

For Bread Week I'm going for Kensington buns, a chocolate and marshmallow variation on Chelsea buns :)
So, what are your food plans, and recipes?
