Chocolate Spice cake

About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love baking, and making cakes. It's not so healthy though! For main meals, there's nothing so satisfying as making a lasagne from scratch.
My cooking tragedies
The time I made chocolate cake with stir-fry oil :-( I didn't realise it would taste like curry! A bizarre combination.

Apple Cake I
Excellent recipe, not too much work. Mine took a lot more baking though, after 30 minutes it was well browned on top but not cooked in the middle so I had to turn the temperature down and cook it for another 25 minutes. I have an electric fan oven, but it is getting old now. Tasted delicious, especially warm with walnut ice cream!

Amalgamation Cake I
Really good fruity cake. More work than I usually like to put in (I'm seriously into one-pot cookery!). Icing too sweet for me but made it look really impressive. Well liked by everyone who tasted it.

Quick Cake
This was great! Much better than I expected. I made cupcakes, just used self-raising flour as I didn't really know what pastry flour was. And I doubled the cocoa powder (cos I like things really chocolatey!) Warm out of the oven they were good, but a day or two later they were fantastic, they took on a soft, almost gooey consistency like brownies. Everyone liked them, no-one guessed at the unusual ingredients.
