But to start off, I'll share my favourite thing to bake. The good old, flop-proof, chocolate cake. More recently I've started decorating them rather fancily as well and enjoy it so much that I've made a few specially prettified birthday cakes.
My recipe is:
4 large/5 small eggs, seperated
1 and 3/4 cups of sugar
5ml of vanilla essence
1/2 cup of oil
3/4 cup of luke warm water
1 and 3/4 cups of self-raising flour
2 heaped tablespoons of cocoa
1 tablespoon of baking powder
Set aside the egg whites to beat later. Beat the yolks and sugar until the colours turns a pale yellow. Add the vanilla essence. Then alternately add the oil and lukewarm water. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix it into the mixture. At this point, you beat your egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold it in. Bake it in a preheated oven at 180℃ for 30-45 minutes or until your skewer comes out dry.
I use different baking tins depending on my mood. In the photograph, I used a 20" square tin, but I've used chiffon and ring pans. I also use the same recipe to make a chocolate slab, to slice up or even muffins.
