More baking fun & other irrelevant things
Jul. 1st, 2011 10:16 amGoodness, has it been almost a week since I last posted? Time flies when you're having fun! I was working on "A Big Fat Torchwood Wedding" like a madwoman to finish it before ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
picowrimo starts today, during which time I wanted to finally finish "Vox Angelica" and "A Visitor from Avalon", but I failed. Dratted story has spawned twice as many chapters as it had originally been supposed to have, and the time just wasn't enough. So I'll probably have to write 3 stories at the same time in Jule. Oh, joy!
On my continuing mission to fatten Mum up a bit, however, I gave the banana cake a try last night. The original recipe is:
60 gr butter or margarine
2 eggs
60 gr sugar
20 gr vanilla flavoured sugar
1/10 l milk (which is really less than I'd have imagined)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
20 gr baking soda
250 gr white flour
2 bananas (in thin slices)
Stir everything until you get a smooth dough. Pour the dough into a rectangular tin with baking paper/parchment/whatever it's called in English in it. Bake it in a pre-heated oven by 180°C for 45-50 minutes. Take it out of the tin and let it cool down on a grid.
Okay, we hate the taste of baking soda, so I only added half of it, which caused the cake to stay a bit flat, but its yummy nonetheless. Oh, and since our oven heats up pretty fast, it was done in less than 30 minutes.
