Tough choice!
A lemon cake made with cream cheese/chocolate cake from a kid's recipe book OR a this one (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Ffood%2Frecipes%2Fdatabase%2Fnicholassfavouritema_10338.shtml&ei=blP7RpmyG6GyQK381A0&usg=AFQjCNEOoM4Vu-UwyQG5aGO-_B6j4biiJw&sig2=FUnyHjvLUr4FbLL6unVfKw)0 -

Mine are double chocolate muffins - so easy the kids make them, on their own (and they're heavenly still warm so that the chocolate chunks are all melting!), and Nigella's brownie recipe.0

Well, I decided to give Daisyroot's chocolate cake a try today as I am a disaster area when it comes to cakes
I don't know what it is, I just can't seem to get them right! so...... here is the cake just come out of the oven (I will ice it later)
Now.. to me, it looks a bit sad! and it took an hour in the oven on 180 and not 20 mins as daisyroots takesI kept checking with my knife and it was wobbly and I had to kept putting it back in.
Anyway, I'm not downhearted yet as it's risen (which is a first for me! :j) so I'm doing quite well!! I will ice it when it's cooled a bit (I am assuming I wait until it's cooled anyway?) and will take another pic.
Is my cake tin the wrong sort of tin? it's the only one I have (except for loaf tins but I wanted a round cake rather than a rectangular one).
Hopeless me.0 -
OMG I can't get it out of the tin :eek: how do I do that?0

Leave it a little longer diamonds, it might be too warm to get out yet. When you come to take it out try easing a knife gentley round the edge of the cake. Has your tin got a loose bottom or is it spring form at all?0

Eh? :rotfl:it's a solid tin but has a silver openy closey thing on the side which I've always ignored (what is it?) I always wondered what that was for.
OK I will leave it for a bit longer cos I don't want it falling to bits0
