    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.

    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.

    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.

    when I make cakes they never rise properly. Taste good but about about 1/2 the height of cakes I see in shops! What am I doing wrong?

    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 :)
