aah, no - what a shame!
were you able to scrape off the burnt bits? sometimes, they're ok after doing that - might not look special but may taste good.0 -
Tried that and it tasted rubbish, really stodgy. Will go back to my tried and tested sponge cake recipe I think.
Ah well, at least I tried. Thanks everyone for their help.0 -
Burnt!!!!!
What a shame,after all your effort.
Pineapple and dessicated coconut ( if you have any) would go nice too as a pina colada
cake, and the pineapple juice would have loosened it slightly. I liked the sound of the cherry and almond though. Better luck next time.GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 Jul £134.25/£150 Aug £69.78/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

It might just be your tins are too big for the amount of mixture. Perhaps if you posted a typical recipe, and tin size, we can offer more help
