What's your favourite thing to bake?

[2021ComeAtMe]

I always bake sweet rather than savoury - got a shocking sweet tooth!

DH got me a cake display stand for Christmas which I LOVE but it makes me sad to see it empty, so while I'm furloughed and have some spare time I'm baking quite a lot.

Usually do a Victoria sponge, or chocolate sponge with fresh cream, but have done blueberry muffins today which the kids have enjoyed. Made banana and Nutella loaf last week which was popular too.

What's your favourite thing to bake?

Coffee and walnut cake 😁

Peanut butter brownies - bbc website recipe! 👌👌👌

Lemon drizzle or sticky ginger cake, like the Jamaican Ginger cake you can buy, are my go to cakes.

Bakewell tart, with generous amounts of jam.

Banana cake
Madeira cake
Pear and frangipani tart
Steamed treacle tart pudding

Probably white chocolate cheesecake, millionaire shortbread and brownies.

In fact I love baking cakes of any flavour. Sadly dh is diabetic, no dc's currently at home & can't see the dgc's atm so no baking going on here except for the odd cheese scone!

Carrot cake

Lemon or lime tart - I've got a really simple but delicious recipe and it's a big hit.

Brownies, we do batch a week! My son has them in his lunchbox. We like to pad them out with different biscuits to make them really thick. We used cut up Oreos or bourbons and sometimes penguins and some white choc chip 😋

Tarte tatin

We love carrot cake but the DC love Cinnamon roll cake (check out fitwaffle on Instagram) every single day the DC are sending me screenshots of things from her page to make them!

Profiteroles with quick chocolate sauce.
My dc would beg me to make extras when they were young if we had dinner guests. They loved eating them for breakfast!

Jane's patisserie New York Cooking - choc chip or triple chocolate.

BBC good food ultimate chocolate cake.

DS1 likes millionaires shortbread but with a chocolate chip cookie in place of the shortbread - not envy

DS2 likes Millies Cookies (BBC good food)

Well?! Don't hold out!

Oh I love a good baking session!
If I need something quick (to go with a cuppa) it will be scones, drop scones or cookies as they all take about 25 minutes from start to on the plate.

If it’s a planned treat then I like a fruit loaf (lovely recipe I have for exotic fruits and made with coconut milk, lush), a sponge cake (lemon drizzle or chocolate or carrot cake)
My DS ALWAYS wants Millionaire Shortbread or cheesecake. I indulge him when he’s home from Uni (which is all the time at the moment so he’s being rationed).

Carrot cake, I use the primrose bakery recipe and it's delicious.

I tried the lemon drizzle recipe on Jane’s Patisserie last night and it’s quite possibly the best I’ve ever made.
I also very highly rate her mini egg blondies but I’ve had to stop making those as I couldn’t stop eating them!

Argh poo, @Mookie81 I thought I'd posted it!

Here you go - I usually make my own sweet shortcrust pastry. If I'm making the lemon one I put a layer of lemon curd on the base before adding the filling.

Cardamom cake
Lemon polenta and rose cake

Some great suggestions here, thank you all!

Do keep them coming

Bread, actually. It always comes out well. My cakes can be hit and miss. I need to try out a cake recipe a couple of times normally.

I also like making biscuits and brownies, but don't really like eating them .

Bakewell tart, cinnamon buns, carrot cake.

Lemon cupcakes, carrot cake cupcakes with cream.cheese frosting and lemon drizzle

@yearinyearout I use that book too, the cakes are soo good!
