Baking 🍪

Will be for a bigger occasion Use more fudgey chocolate cake recipe over a spounge

Sponge: 6 ounces butter, caster sugar, self raising flower 3 eggs Milk (~ table spoon) Vanilla and baking powder (1 teaspoon) Cream butter and sugar together. And eggs and vanilla and mix a bit, then sift in flour and baking powder and mix till just smooth. Additionly add milk if u want batter thinner Put into baking tray (think I do an 8 by 8 inch but not too sure) and bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 ish minutes or until a knife comes out clean Buttercream: 5:2 icing sugar to butter ratio, usually for 1 cake I use 250g icing sugar and 100g butter. Add milk and vanilla to taste and desired consistency. Pro tip, for whiter icing you can get icing whitening powder

125g butter 150g sugar (a 1:2 ratio combo of brown to white is my go to, but for a more dense, soft cookie use more brown, and for a crispier cookie use more white (or go for whatever is in your cupboard) 1 egg 1 teaspoon of vanilla 230g plain flower Just under a teaspoon of baking powder Chocolate (and any other add ins, love some crushed nuts in mine ☺️) measure this with your heart • Cream butter and sugar together until smooth • Add egg and vanilla and mix slightly • Sift in half the flower and fold this into the dough before adding in your chocolate. • chill your dough in the fridge (if u can wait) I aim to chill mine for 24 hours • bake on a lined baking pan for 10-12 minutes, or until u look down, the longer u bake the more crispy they will be and vice versa. I sometimes like mine really undercooked and so take it out around 9 minutes (might give you a stomach ache) • cool, but let’s be honest who has time for that, and enjoy Tip: if u have issues in your hands, add the flour and chocolate into in stages. For example: half the flower mixing, half the chocolate mix, half the flower mix and finally half the chocolate mix. This will allow for a more even spread of chocolate with slightly less strain You can also save some chocolate for the end, and place them on top of your dough before putting it into the oven.

Super quick and easy recipe!! 125g butter Golden syrup (no idea how much I use, just a good squeeze) 125g brown sugar 200g oats In a saucepan add your butter and sugar, place on medium low heat until melted. Once melted add golden syrup and mix, then poor this into your oats and mix well. You can also add fruit, raisins, seada etc here if u want ish Place this mixture into a lined baking pan, I use an 8x8 and it gives flapjacks with medium thickness but adjust based on your tastes Bake for 20-25 minutes, the less time u bake the more goey it will be however it may not hold its shape Let cool before eating, additionally u can add a drizzle of caramel or melted chocolate on top Hope you enjoy 😊 and remember it has oats in so it is healthy
