What have you baked today?

Today I've baked a coconut and cherry banana bread.
Its from Nigella's Kitchen.
Wanted something a bit different to use up the brown bananas!
It smells lovely but not tried it yet as I'm waiting for the kids/husband to get home first.
Not posted on here before, but now both my children are in full time school I have a bit more time for baking and browsing forums.

Off to look for the recipe for JJ's herb bread now, cos I think that might be my next bake.....

It's not really baking, but I've just made a batch of Rocky Road http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/rockyroadcrunchbars_87104 Didn't have any rich tea so we've improvised with some ginger nuts instead

I need help! I made this last night, and it's a stodgy brick - like a dense brownie - rather than a light cake. It's also sunk hideously in the middle.

I've not iced it yet, and need to salvage it to serve it up tonight to friends which we watch Great British Bake Off, of all things!

Any ideas what I can do? I've got the usual stuff in my baking cupboard, and cream.

All my GFs failed cakes used to get made into truffles.

I've just made a batch of orange and spice buns - somewhere between a bun and a muffin. They're a complete experiment, out of the oven now and they look ok, but I'm not sure how they'll taste - I suspect that I've been a bit overenthusiastic with the ginger!

Today I've baked the 'Don't ask me' cake off the allrecipes.co.uk site.
Not tried it yet, holding out til the kids get home from school but it looks and smells nice.
It has a cake bottom and a cherry and walnut meringue type topping.

tea loaf using madnotstupid's recipe - a great way to clear the remnants of baking ingredients

Thanks, madnotstupid, it turned out great!
