Long time, no see TL :D I'm pretty much settled back in the UK by now (got a job, covered my room in posters, nearly driven my Mum insane asking for cake tins.) The great thing about being back is that I can bake again. I've not had access to an oven for five years, so it's a slow process. Today I was in a baking mood, so (with limited access to new ingredients because I'm broke), I baked a couple of cakes.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good flavor combinations/recipes? I'm really enjoying baking for our household (and my friends.) Even if I can't eat too many slices due to my on-going diet.
I'll add new cakes/projects as I make them.) I need to perfect my apple cake before Vek (long-time TL buddy) comes to visit, and Mum recently purchased a mini cupcake maker which needs testing.

Dat coconut sponge cake...

As for cakes to make, carrot cakes are surprisingly good, but I have always been predisposed to the more hearthy cakes.

It tasted pretty good straight off of the cooling rack :D I'd love to make carrot cake. I used to dislike it, but the taste has really grown on me after sampling some local ones.

I didn't add enough flour to that one (It's only for 3 people so it should be enough), but I think the quantities for the coconut sponge were just right for my size of baking tin :D I've just been doing the measurements by eyeballing it (we don't seem to have any scales at the moment.) I'll probably start following proper recipes if I cook anything more complicated than a sponge though :D I'll definitely add comments about the taste/texture etc.

I came into this thread thinking of "baking" otherwise...

The sponge cake looks sooo good, imo because of the beautiful crust you got going on there. I love sponge cakes for their crusts, more than the "interior" part, because the crust is always a zone of concentrated sweet goodness. And yours looks to die for.

I actually read Baking as the name of a town. So I thought this was an epic blog about adventures in foreign countries. Instead it's a blog about nice cake. It's ok. :D

If you could name those cakes after progamers, who would they be and why?

I'm rather bored so I'm thinking up random questions that might result in something entertaining.

They look so good, since you're on a diet and I'm such a selfless person I guess I could help shoulder some of the burden if you mail them to me.

And for suggestions, well carrot cake is the shit and lemon cheesecake is pretty good too.

edit: Who needs an oven in Korea really? You can get all your quality traditional french style baked goods, like sweet potato garlic bread, from Paris Baguette lol.

It's not going to be just peanut butter. So I guess it's a rating for the concept, the photos, and whatever cakes you do fancy once I add more in the future. Someone rated it 1, so I guess they hate cake lol.

Not sure about the cakes, photos are great though, and I heard taking good pictures of food is pretty hard. 5/5 =)

Well they are pretty much my first experiments, so hopefully they'll improve in terms of taste, variety and looks. I'm just learning how to bake again now after five years >.>
