March 2015

Here we are again, baking update for March now - where did that month go??

My first bake of the month was a square banana and date cake - I had bananas to use up and some chopped dates I found in the back of the cupboard, Googled the two ingredients and this was the result - a lovely light fruit cake





Then a couple of loaves, different days, different tins




I made some plain mini muffins decorated with icing and glace cherries (comic relief related for Jo's work colleagues)
The two cakes on the end are in a new tin I bought (oops) with a little mixture left over from the mini muffins - they are mini flan shaped and would be good for filling etc. Will be experimenting with these this month I think.






Some chocolate chip cookies, a very easy recipe but next time I'll let the mixture cool a bit more before adding the chocolate chips as they melted in more than they should, they still tasted yummy though..



Salted caramel chocolate brownies - very yummy, very gooey and very easy.... what more can I say. They went off to Jo's work colleagues before I realised I hadn't photographed the cut slices.. 


Busy day, I made a big batch of homemade leek and potato soup, some blackberry conserve for my daughter, and sorted out some previously made marmalade which had set a little TOO firmly - rescued now. The sponge was made just because... no reason







Mini Victoria sponges requested for a birthday work treat


Yet another white loaf


Dundee cake :-)



Finally a practice attempt at Easter Biscuits - these were so like the ones i remember from my childhood - will definitely be making them again from this recipe on Easter Saturday
