What have you baked today?

Just made a carrot cake and got bread in the BM. Might also make some biscuits later and put in the oven when I cook the chicken and roasties this evening.

I have baked a New York style baked vanilla and raspberry cheesecake as I've been invited for dinner to a friend's house. Smells wonderful - just have to resist poking my finger in it for 7 more hours! It's this one http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3842/baked-raspberry-cheesecake

I've seen marmalade cake mentioned a couple of times, would love to try it if you'd be so kind as to share the recipe.

Thanks

This is the one i use -

125g/4oz butter
200g/7oz golden syrup
100g/3.5oz caster sugar
2tbsps chunky marmalade
250g/8oz self raising flour
2tsps ground mixed spice
1tsp ginger, ground
1/2tsp bicarb
150ml/1/4pt milk
2 eggs beaten

Put butter, golden syrup, sugar and marmalade in a saucepan on a low heat until melted.

Remove from heat and stir in dry ingredients. Add milk and beaten eggs and mix until smooth. Pour into a 8inch/20cm deep square cake tin thats greased and lined with greaseproof paper. Bake in a preheated oven@ 180c/350f gas mark 4 for 35-40 mins until well risen and a skewer comes out clean.

Topping

2 oranges thinly sliced
50g/2oz caster sugar
200ml/7floz water
2 tbsps marmalade

Put the sliced oranges into a saucepan with water and sugar. Cover and simmer for 25 mins. Remove lid and cook for 5 mins more until the liquid has been reduced to 2tbsps. Add the marmalade and heat till melted.

Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10mins then loosen the edges, turn out onto a wire rack and peel of greaseproof paper. Turn the cake the right way up and spoon on the oranges and sauce. Store in an air tight tin (if it will last long enough) will store for 3 days.

I don't have the original link, but this is the recipe:

Hob Nobs

1. Mix 8oz self-raising flour, 8oz porridge oats and 8oz sugar. Melt 8oz of margarine, 1tbsp golden syrup and 1tbsp of hot water in a pan. Stir in ½ tsp of bicarbonate of soda and add to the dry ingredients.

2. Then mix well and make into smallish balls which you then put on a greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork. Put in the oven at 180 degrees C for 15 mins. Cool on the tray. The aim is to get them golden in the oven not brown.
