    That looks just about perfect :D Have you stuck a skewer through it to make sure it's cooked all the way through?


    Err...no. I haven't got a skewer. :o It's had 55 mins, the first 30 mins at 160°C, the rest at 150°C. When pressed with a finger, the cake springs slowly back. I think it's done. ;)

    It had better be - it's getting eaten anyway! :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    It looks like it coming away from the side of the tin so that's another good indication it's cooked through.

    Are you pleased with it?

    Oh yeah - forgot to add that! I applied the same rules as the CYC - it seems a very similar recipe.

    And I'll let you know on Wednesday. ;)

    Errmmm...how on earth do I store this thing? :confused:

    I've taken it out of the tin, and it's really sticky. It's not quite cold yet, but wherever I put it, it's gonna make a mess. :rolleyes:

    I pushed a knife into the bottom of it too, and it came out clean - that means it was cooked, right? :cool:

    Yes, it sounds cooked, wrap it in foil and put it in a tin.

    Have you got a plastic container (sandwich box or old ice cream container) or what about an old biscuit tin?

    Foil and plastic container it is then!

    I'm gonna make one of these for my Mum at Christmas - she'll be well impressed! :T
