What have you baked today?

I have just baked my regular batch of wholemeal Bread today. Here is the recipe. Provided the yeast is bloomed properly, and proportions are right it's ships ahoy!

It's a no brainer because I use a cup measure and plonk in even cups of wholemeal flour-organic, plain white flour organic and organic flahavens rolled oats for a loaf that is the right size for me to last a week.

I've just made a lemon drizzle cake which I'll split with our elderly neighbours and I've made a chocolate cake for my team in work.

Getting cabin fever being cooped up today and yesterday ... DH full of cold and feeling sorry for himself & it been snow / sleeting all day so not nice to go out in.

Today I have baked 2 lots of flapjack. 1 original (plain) and one with dried cranberries and mixed nuts in - mainly for DD's pack ups/school snack much cheaper than the cereal bars and less sugar;).

I also made an apple crumble using up the left over apples from last week before putting the new ones in there.

Tomorrow I will make a lemon drizzle cake and the mincemeat fruit cake Rosie posted - will need oven on for glazing ham joint anyway:D

Okay, here goes with the recipe for the cake. So yummy I made it again today!

It was in the Metro (free newspaper) 29 Nov 2012.

Convenient Christmas cake.

250g SR flour
150g unsalted butter (I used cheap baking marg)
140g caster sugar (never buy it, used granulated)
411g jar mincemeat
2 eggs
grated rind from an orange and a lemon and an orange ( I omitted them as I didn't have any)

Oven 150/ 300/ Gas 2
Grease and line an 8" tin.
Cream marg and sugar til pale.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Fold in the flour.
Add the mincemeat and rind and mix well.
Bake for 90-100 mins til skewer comes out clean.

As I say, I made this again today, and as I was doing lots of other stuff at the same time, I chucked all the ingredients in and did it as an all-in-one cake, and it honestly came out better! I wouldn't call it a Christmas cake though. More of a nice, soft fruity sponge. Perfect with a cuppa!

I made this the other day.I added a few spoons of ground almonds to the recipe.I'm leaving it a few days before cutting it-such self control!:)
