The Big Stove: February 2010
http://thebigstoveyear.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 February 2010. As always the lovely Nigella has something to turn, something for every occasion. This is a cake to be made for someone, who needs some care, love and a friend. Or in remembrance of someone, who was a friend. It is also the most soothing of cakes to make. The chopping of an apple (reminds me of my nana who, despite my mothers insistence, would peel an apple with a knife, in one long curl, because I suddenly couldn't bear the skin. I think of this every time I peel one! It is a...

Rock Cakes: Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2007/02/raspberry-and-white-chocolate-muffins.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Thursday, February 08, 2007. Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins. I saw some raspberries in the supermarket and they were calling to me so I bought them and put them in the fridge and couldn't think of a thing to do with them that didn't involve cake. So cake it was. I had a choice of 2 recipes that are quite similar, the. One and this one on. Temp a bit. I made the small. The smaller ones took about 17 minutes to bake. Raspberry muffins with white chocolate chips.

Rock Cakes: Marmalade Sponge Traybake
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2007/02/marmalade-sponge-traybake.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Tuesday, February 13, 2007. I made this as a midweek lunchbox filler as I had bought a huge jar of marmalade for £1 and even I can't eat that much (all right, I can but lets keep that between us, ok? Despite that and the orange juice it doesn't actually taste that orangey. I was going to put a syrup topping on but lost interest when the middle collapsed as I tried to get it out of the tin too early, so totally my fault! The recipe is from Gorgeous Cakes (again!

Rock Cakes: I bought a book today
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-bought-book-today.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Sunday, October 29, 2006. I bought a book today. And it's quite rare for me to buy proper real recipe books. The cake recipes are usually mixed up amongst other courses (like the Nigella books) and I don't buy 'meat' books as we are all veggie here so it seems a bit of a waste. Delia is a little too smug for my liking and her recipes are far too wordy (I wish she'd just get to the point! So look out for something from this book on here soon. View my complete profile.

Rock Cakes: Smartie Cookies
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2007/02/smartie-cookies.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Thursday, February 15, 2007. This is the closest I get to a Valentines Day post as it was a total non-event in this house. I'm currently very cross with Mr AG as he made no effort whatsoever. I had a special meal planned but I thought why should I bother when he hadn't? At the moment we aren't talking. He of course has all the excuses under the sun. 115g/4oz unsalted butter, softened. 50g/2oz light brown soft sugar. 175g/6oz self raising flour. Cream butter and suga...

Rock Cakes: Coloured Cupcakes
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2007/08/coloured-cupcakes.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Saturday, August 04, 2007. Having lost my baking mojo yet again I was forced to make a comeback this evening. Boy is having an impromptu sleepover at his aunties tomorrow night along with her friend and her two boys. Not only did I have to chuck on a load of washing to make sure he had some clean socks (note the summer holiday slacker! But there was also the question 'Is there any cake? The recipe I used was the one size fits all cupcakes. August 07, 2007 1:15 pm.

Rock Cakes: One-size-fits-all cupcakes
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2006/12/one-size-fits-all-cupcakes.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Monday, December 18, 2006. Anyhow, continuing my obsession with mini muffin cases I decided to make my cupcakes teeny sized. Boy expressed a preference for Jelly Tots and I made them festive and green too. The recipe I use exactly fills 24 mini muffin cases or 12 cupcake cases so they are rounded and full when baked, but not overflowing or 12 muffin cases that are to be filled up with icing to the top Nigella-style. 4oz/110g butter (softened) or margarine. I am goin...

Rock Cakes: Blueberry Muffins
http://rockcakes.blogspot.com/2007/02/blueberry-muffins.html
Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Tuesday, February 13, 2007. I bought a cheap punnet of blueberries and was looking for something exciting to make with them but inspiration was lacking so muffins it was. I haven't got a tried and tested muffin recipe so turned to Google and ended up even more confused than ever. Some recipes are made of some very dodgy things and others are just extra ingredients added to cake mix. Where is the fun in that? 1 cup milk (250ml). 1/4 cup melted butter. Cake, Cookies a...

Bake a cake, bake a cake. Rah rah rah! Tuesday, February 06, 2007. Victoria Sponge Birthday Cake. My Nigella cake stand got it's first outing recently and for a special occasion too! Boy was 6 years old. I've no idea how he got to that age so quickly, hasn't helped my broodiness one bit! 225g unsalted butter, diced (or spread suitable for baking, I prefer this). 225g golden caster sugar. 2 teaspoons baking powder (I'm presuming it. 4 eggs (book says medium but I always buy large and it do. Trim the domes...
