Last night, after dinner, I really craved something sweet, but the walk to the Co-Op, all of 5 minutes away, seemed too much effort! So i rummaged in the cupboard and larder, only to discover that I had all the ingredients for a Honey cake. Somehow, theis seemed like an easier option than walking to the shops, and I'm sure it was far tastier!I still have to get used to baking in my oven though. Baked potatoes were impossible- still hard after hours at the highest temp, but this cake was on the brink of becoming burnt after 30 minutes at Gas Mark 4, when the recipe stated 1 hour!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteTo bake spuds (if you have a solid fuel stove!)
Rake hot coals/wood etc to one side leaving a clear space on the grate, wrap spud in double foil & pop in oven. 1st time I tried left it too long resulting in shrivelled lump of carbon but usually an hour to hour & half is long enough depending on how well done you like your spud.
