Is that because it is baked in a relatively shallow tin rather than a deep 9" one?

Is it this one, btw?

I would like to join please. This week I have made 1 banana and walnut loaf and a country fruit loaf cake. For every day eating I almost always use loaf tins, just for personal preference. I tend to make cakes that don't need a buttercream filling or topping unless it's for a crowd or special occasion. (there are only two of us at home most of the time) It's too easy to eat them!!

I think we need a bit more activity on this thread.

My little niece stayed with me last weekend and we set-to in the kitchen. I'd bought a dinosaur cake mould for her so we made chocolate dinosaurs with a very fetching purple icing and pink sprinkles (niece was the creative director on this one, I'd originally planned to dunk them into melted chocolate).



The rest of the batter was turned into a lemon drizzle cake in the shape of a sunflower - my silicone bakeware is finally getting used! Goodies enjoyed by all and the 6-egg recipe was polished off by a picky 4yo and 5 appreciative adults in less than an hour last Sunday afternoon. Niece is getting a knack for baking and she loves it.

Made 2 loaves of Keto bread and a sugar free low carb carrot cake with coconut flour. I don't eat either but family said both are fab.

Croutons.

I took a phone call and my eye off the ball, so they are a little more toasted than I planned

Nowt, but the rhubarb is looking good, so something is going to happen sooner or later

Took me ages to find this thread 😉 I thought with the lockdown Banana Loaf revolution it would have been used more 🤣

weathers a bit cooler, so have been playing in the kitchen, a loaf of bread and Sabrina Ghayour’s Salted Peanut Baklava, delicious, seriously sweet but will make a great dessert with espresso

I was only thinking about this thread earlier, surprised that with lockdown it had not been used.
Islandmaid It is good to "see" you here, I used to love your blog and the yummy recipes.
I still regularly make bread (breadmaker), cakes, flapjack, pies and occasionally biscuits for OH and GF cheese scones, savoury muffins and bread, cheese biscuits etc for myself, my sweet tooth has disappeared somewhere, but I love all things cheesy and savoury.  I keep trying to perfect making flapjack that is tangy and not so sweet, but still sticks together well, mixed success, doesn't help that I am a bit of a "chuck it all in and see what happens" type of flapjack maker!
Not baking as such, but I have today taken delivery of a Sage waffle maker, will be trying waffle recipe from my GF baking guru tomorrow.

I made a batch of twinks hobnobs today,and yesterday a tray of flapjacks. The flapjacks are all gone even if they were a bit overdone , think I'll have to hide the twinks
