More cooking and baking

We tried these but to no avail. Many sank in the middle, and those that looked OK wouldn't be prised from their cups. The next attempt will probably involve a little more flour, if we try to make them again. 
  • Rating - 15/35 ... the same as the number that turned out.

Substitutions: No cocoa was harmed in the making of these cakes: We used the same measure of plain flour instead, with an extra cup thrown in after the shambles that was the cupcake failure.


When the cupcakes failed, we came back to Google and found this recipe. We actually had all the ingredients on hand, as well, except the cocoa, which was just as well because we don't want kids getting all anaphalactic on our first cooking experiment for our boy! 

Tips for beginners: leave the cakes in the pan for a few minutes before you try turning them out. These two perfect specimens actually each ended up breaking in half :( Didn't affect their taste, though: apparently one of them (uniced) went down a treat at mrs_g's work!

Self-explanatory, really. We'll be making some blue and some uncoloured icing for those with colouring issues. More when it's actually done (looks and tastes like proper frosting - will be up to do some more after lunch / the floor dries).
