I made a very special cake as a belated birthday present to myself - read about my challenge!]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/belated-birthday-cake-apple-spiced-cake/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/extra-moist-chocolate-fudge-cake/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/extra-moist-chocolate-fudge-cake/#comments Sun, 10 Jan 2010 13:33:39 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=354
I've been looking for a very special chocolate cake recipe for a while - one that actually tastes chocolatey. The recipes I have suggest putting a tablespoon of cocoa powder in a normal victoria sponge but this never ever tastes good to me! This recipe doesn't use any raising agent surprisingly and comes from The Telegraph from many years ago.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/extra-moist-chocolate-fudge-cake/feed/ 11 http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/summer-fruits-victoria-sponge/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/summer-fruits-victoria-sponge/#comments Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:09:23 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=216
A classic recipe that's sure to impress anyone! It's so easy to make it look stunning, fresh fruit really sets it off. I use buttercream to fill it with fresh cream on top with a little lemon juice and rind to cut through the sweetness of the filling.]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/summer-fruits-victoria-sponge/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/letter-cake/ http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/letter-cake/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:09:16 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=52
Had to upload this wonderful and inspired take on cake design! Made by Chris Kemm (and kindly printed with his permission) this was a sponge cake baked in a normal tray using my basic cupake recipe]]> http://laythetable.com/cakes/full-size-cake/letter-cake/feed/ 2
