Today I have made a home made white loaf, a large 12"x18" chocolate brownie traybake, and the same size of a lemon drizzle cake. They will all be sliced up and some frozen for later in the week.

I have also baked a chocolate sponge cake today. I used a typical sponge cake recipe and added cocoa powder to make it nice and chocolaty! I covered it in melted chocolate and grated chocolate. Will go down nicely after our student roast this evening!

They are ok but I will try and find a recipe for some darker ones next time, they always look more chocolatey!

Made a batch of chocolate orange muffins and a batch of strawberry jam muffins for packed lunches.
Both tested as being quite stodgy and not hugely sweet
I've never been able to make a hugely successful muffin for some reason!

I am still learning how to make them myself and found this if it is of any help.

It wouldn't let me post the page so I have had to put a space between the . and com.

The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook has the nicest chocolate muffin recipe I've ever tried. It's very chocolately indeed!

Thanks,that sounds nice.:D
It has duly been noted in my little red book.I would use apple juice though,not so keen on orange juice.
That wouldn't make a big difference,would it?
