Victoria Cake

Freshly baked from oven!
Cooled and spread with Blackcurrent jam without cream. I dislike very rich cake!

A classic Victoria sponge cake, anyone?
I didn't sprinkle icing sugar on top because I didn't like my cake too sweet!


Mmmm...smell of baking cake is so great and this motivate me to try more recipes (finger-cross)
I researched baking cakes recipes and tips from internet but have faith with Delia Smith Easy Cookbook.
Preparation time 15 minutes, baking time 35 minutes for 8 inches tin at 170C fan oven.

I would give 7/10 in term of taste and texture and no presentation :-)
The edge is a bit crunchy and dried, probably too much oil for the sandwich tin.

Zesty Orange Blueberries Muffins

I think I have fallen in love with baking cakes.
My first attempt in baking muffins was better than expected.
The baking smell make the house feel cosy and welcoming...compliment from my husband back home from work.
Preparation time is 15 minutes and baking time is 20-25 minutes at 180C fan oven.
I follow Delia Smith's method and a "twist" of recipe from the Leith's Cooking Bible.
The muffins taste great and perfect.
