Making a cake is easier than frying an egg. Fact.

here. This is the most recent thing I've baked, it's got limited amount of ingredients and should be easy even for a novice baker. Plus sablé cookies tend to be forgiving.

>>5160868
thank you!

>>5160841
maybe I don't want to bake a cake faggot

>>5160895
NP. I can go through the rest of my folder for other baked goods verticals if you want. Some of them might be more complex, however.

>>5160905
yea all the verticals, just pick your favorites.
ingredient wise nothing too crazy.

strawberries & blueberries are a plus

>>5160916
hum.. let me see. I'm going to be posting only the ones I made, because I'm feeling a tad lazy...

These are pretty easy... I used to make them as a child with my grand-ma.

This is an other variation on sablé cookies...

>>5160933
thanks man

I tend to make a shit ton of cookies, apparently... I think I need to bake a few cakes for you guys...

>>5160946
NP. Let me know if something isn't clear or you want more explanation about any step/recipe.

More cookies! But no flour this time. You can make these with the whites left from the first recipe.

These are more healthy-ish and best eaten at breakfast.. They are quite filling.

Muffins again, no eggs in the batter, if you have to deal with people with allergies.

Coffee cupcakes.

>>5160967
orange & chocolate one of my favorite combos. All these recipes look easy.

I get a distinct feeling that I'm talking to myself at this point.. Ah well.

You wanted blueberries.... this is a bit more technical, but tasty. And has blueberries!

>>5160982
yea I don't have silicone molds. That sounds really good though, not to mention the cardamom.

>>5160979
those are really tasty. And quick to make too.

Baking isn't super hard, but it does require a bit more attention to the measuring of ingredients.

Cheesecake! Not quite a cake, but oh well.

>>5160971
weird question, do these taste dry? like what would you drink with that more coffee?.... ooh maybe hot chocolate

Drunk lemon cake. Tasty and keeps well.

I am running out of baked goods that I made into verticals, however.

>>5160996
i'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but gingerbread & honey... what's not to like?

>>5160999
They have the butter, milk, egg and brown sugar to keep moisture. So they taste cakey, not dry. And yes, they are good with hot chocolate or coffee.

Have some cat paw cookies

>>5161000
it's cool, this will keep me preoccupied for a while.
this was informative, and literally did all the work for me.

>>5161006
Cool :-) Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions and post results!

>>5161005
cat paws? aww that's cute, and the jam part got me excited. haha

>>5161011
will do! prob going to do the thumb prints first

I like to bake things cupcake style and freeze them for individual desserts

so far I've got down chocolate cake, key lime pie, carrot cake, cheese cake

what other cupcake things could I make?

>>5161026
my grand-ma once made cupcake upside-down pineapple cake.

Angel food cake maybe?

>>5161039
those would be good fresh but not sure how well they would freeze

maybe if I used fresh pineapple it would freeze ok

I bake 3-4 times each week. Most recently, ciabatta. I was gonna bake some scones today but ultimately decided against it.

>>5161050
maybe. The angelfood cake should hold up to being frozen... might loose some fluffyness, but serve the reheated version with some thawed frozen strawberries as a coulis and should still be delicious.

>>5161059
got any good scones recipe? Been meaning to make some but the recipes I've tried to far have been... disappointing?

not a bad example.stuff can go...rancid .theorereticaly,ti sgood but woouldeat it. judgement call and o3 prepare fore the worst.be notpshochked when good stuff hapens

>>5161065
Sure. These are a type of Devonshire/Cornish quick scones.
You can scale this recipe for larger batches. This makes four scones.
Flour, 1 cup
Salt, a pinch
Sugar, 1-2tbsp
Bicarb, a half tsp
Egg, 1 large (50-60g)
Oil or melted butter, 1tbsp
Vinegar, 1tbsp
Wholefat milk, 5tbsp plus one extra if necessary

Put oven to hottest setting; meanwhile, whisk together all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat together all wet ingredients save the extra tbsp of milk.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the wet mixture.
Combine wet and dry into a wall-paper paste consistency, adding the extra milk if it's too dry; do not overmix.
Divide into four equal portions.
Wet your hands and roll a portion into a ball and place it onto baker's parchment on a baking sheet; repeat for the remaining four portions.
Place into the oven then lower the temp to 190°C/375°F (you may have to adjust the temperature for your oven as I find some ovens do fine at lower temps and some need even higher ones) for about 18-22 minutes.

>>5161012
they be delicious too

>>5161101
>Put oven to hottest setting
Can you clarify this part?

>>5161115
If your oven goes to 4 kajillion degrees, set it to 4 kajillion degrees. It takes about 8 minutes to measure everything and mix it together and hotting up the oven at its highest temperature allows you to pop them in just as you're done placing them on the sheet without having to wait.
