I am a horrific cook. Truly, truly bad. But now that DS is starting to eat solids I've decided this state of affairs must change and I've started by baking healthy cakes/muffins involving Vegetables.
So far I'm on my fourth batch and all have been disastrous, including the Annabel Karmel carrot muffins and the Abel and Cole courgette cakes.
The courgette cakes went like this:
DS is allergic to egg, so I used egg replacer (after two previous failed experiments using Ana's and applesauce).
Recipe called for baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. I didn't have the latter, so DH went to the shop and came back with... more baking powder. So only that was used.
I forgot to combine the sugar with the egg and instead mixed the dry ingredients all at once and then folded into the wet ones. It came out dry, like a dough, so I panicked and added water.
I cooked at gas mark 4 for 25 mins. When I puta knife in one it came outa bit wet so I ended up leaving them in for almost an hour. By the time they came out they looked lovely but they were burnt on the sides and bottom, stuck to the cases, and undercooked inside!!!
What is going on?? Someone help me please before I bankrupt us buying flour!! Is it my oven that's at fault maybe?
