All in One Sponge Cake - Delia Smith - BBC

[@MsMOLLYKINS]

So fun to look back on tv cooks not much has changed but I still love watching the old shows , thanks Delia

[@Knappa22]

Spot on. For years I made a three egg sponge but two is better as you get a better ratio with the filling. Stork not butter definitely better. And Delia also right about warm water not milk - it makes an airier cake. My own tip - keep the oven temp lower than noted in book. It gives a lovely even rise and the cake won’t dome.

[@hohummmsezmoi]

I like how she explains the whys and whats; why use a big bowl, why use water instead milk, what is a dropping consistency, why grease a non-stick pan, why use silicone versus grease paper...

My mum always trusted Delia Smith and I used the same recipes and this recipe always worked well

[@toeterneus]

I like how resolute she is. That woman don't want no contradiction!

[@countkostaki]

@lemueltay It's a Morphy Richards hand held mixer, 120watts. She uses a Braun Multimix in the How To Cook series, and in the latest one (Delia Through The Decades) she uses a Kenwood 250 watt whisk. She doesn't usually have continuity with her appliances she uses on her programmes.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Tried this recipe in her book and it's brilliant!

[@Liofa73]

I don't think she said how long it's supposed to be in for. But on her website the same recipe says: "Place them on the centre shelf of a pre-heated oven gas mark 3, 325°F (170°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes. Don't open the oven door until 30 minutes have elapsed."

Watching in 2020

[@youvexme]

as someone who has had both I must agree with you.

[@susanmorris6746]

How long is this one in the oven delia did not say .

[@countkostaki]

In those days, circa the 1970s, not very many people at all. In this day and age, most people have one - they have become more and more popular as the years go by and more and more cheaper in price

[@AlexaAlial]

and the cake??? I wanted to see it

[@Nightjourney90210]

She means a tub of Flora!!! Boy have times changed!

[@CamperVanPersie]

Delia has got Her "Rasta" gear on.Maybe Bob Marley was dropping in for Tea.

[@idontevenknow6948]

is there anyone had tried this method?

[@Liofa73]

Ya in the updated recipe she uses butter.

[@caribind3]

Did she even say how long it had to be baked for?

[@FrankBerry-pp1gj]

She did in the original. Not in this edit. Blame the BBC

[@marcuslewis79]

no its the opening of her trouser pockets you can see.

[@billy4072]

Back in the day....when pc had not infected the b. B. C

[@paulkazjack]

Nice tins.

[@rach5516]

I find I don't need baking powder, all in one just mixed very well, no soapy taste.

[@Knappa22]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Both Delia and Mary Berry say to add baking powder. It is necessary in an all-in-one because it’s all beaten so as Delia says “You need more rising power”. In a cream-in method the flour would be folded in delicately, trapping in a lot of air. The taste difference is negligible. In fact I would say impossible to identify.

[@rach5516]

@@Knappa22 I don't know if i am just very sensitive to the taste . My all in ones always come out OK without it but a friend if mine hasn't had success without it xx happy baking!

[@M4037331]

this is sponge cake? it looks more like a regular cake to me

[@vidviewa]

to a brain dead cook like me i need to know how long to bake?She doesn't tell you.

[@madisonpage6778]

she literally sounds like emma blackery

[@M4037331]

@rags015 thats so not true

[@Liofa73]

Think shes wearing an apron :P

[@FrostPegasus]

The fashion in the late 70s and early 80s was horrible. Green and red? XD I love Delia though.

[@Tinneus]

Mah-jah-reen. Ugh.
