CAKE straight in the NINJA basket | will it work???

[@jennyelliottbrown6680]

Would you consider putting half the mix in each side of the ninja, cook for less time, then layer with strawberries and whipped cream, dust with the icing sugar on top too xx yours looks damned good as it is xxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh my goodness that sounds delicious Jenny! I would definitely try that! 😋😋😋😋

[@jorgeceles7942]

Your efforts have saved me from a potential baking mishap. I truly appreciate your willingness to experiment and share your results. Grateful for your contribution!

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aah brilliant thank you, I'll try so you don't have to😃👍💕💕💕 I am really glad I tried though, if the ninja had a bottom element like the cosori dual blaze - it would have worked😄👍👍

[@daveh6179]

Just a thought, after your first 40mins, cover with foil and hold down with toothpicks, keep at same temp for ten mins and it should stop from burning the top, and also should be cooked just right, hope it helps. All the best.

[@youtubefavs8606]

Love your programmes Kerry, and really admire you. If I made that sponge, I would slice each slice in half and spread jam on it then serve it as a pudding with lovely home made custard on it , just for a change. OR, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder, to make a chocolate sponge and serve with chocolate sauce on for another pudding. (My sons’ favourite).Birds custard powder is so easy to make. Off now to try making your bread in my new Ninja, which I love. Keep up the good work Kerry, we all love your videos - you’re brilliant. x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh that's really lovely thank you😀💕 love your cake n custard suggestions - match made in heaven right there😋😋😋💕

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thanks Kerry well I think if it had been in a tin it might have cooked as the heat from the metal would have cooked it but on the whole I think that would be ok with different timings .xx

[@suzannejones5992]

I make cakes and bake in my airfryer and they're always great. I do preheat and start off at 160c and then reduce to 150c fot the last 10 minutes. A total of 45 minutes. Another great video kerry thank you.

[@budgetcookinguk]

That's fab Suzanne 😃👍💕 and thank you. In cake tins, it always works for me (without preheat thou) as well, I enjoyed seeing if it would work directly in the basket. The cosori dual blaze definitely better for this method, what with its advantages of having the lower heating element as well as the top one.

[@debscox57]

Great effort Kerry. I agree with you higher temp at start might help. It still looks great and im sure the boys loved it. 😊

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, love how you are always prepared to take one for the team. At the end of the day, it's cake!😋 and I thought the only thing that was missing was a cuppa, if which you rectrified😁 so win win👍I bet the boys loved it and big congratulations Jack on excellent results. Taken a leaf out of your book Kerry, hard work pays off👏💖 Great video and now excited to see what you are going to do with your flour🤔 Byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx

Aw thank you Julie! 💕💕💕

[@robsondog01]

Trial and error, stick a bit of cream and jam on it, as you say “it’s cake”. Made the no knead bread, afraid I won’t be making it again as we ate it warm with lashings of butter in a day😮seriously it turned out a treat, used a rectangle glass dish as didn’t have a round tin small enough. Made amazing bread and butter pudding in the ninja, came out crispy on top and perfect inside. Thanx

[@budgetcookinguk]

I agree re the cosori, that bottom element really makes a difference. Was good to give it a go😃👍💕💕

[@KarltonLovett-ys9ik]

Hi Kerry, I do a Victoria sponge in a similar way, trouble is the fryer cooks outside in so, once I cooked for 30 mins I then put the crisp tray on top, wrapped in tin foil with a few holes in then cook for a further 15 mins, this stops the top cooking to much.

[@lw7240]

Good job Kerry! X❤

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Lisa 😃💕💕💕

[@heidihughes8806]

Yummy, thank you x

[@johnreid5539]

What would happen if you did not use bak paper. put mix straight into the pan

[@budgetcookinguk]

The paper is there to help get it out, without the paper - there is a real risk the cake will fall out and break while trying to get it out of the basket 😀👍👍

[@jenniferparry8709]

Would be lovely with jam and desicatted coconut sprinkled on top

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ooo lovely 😋😋😋

[@46joe]

this was going to be my exact comment too ! a bit of jam and coconut can do wonders.....cut into small squares and cover every surface ..... mmm @@budgetcookinguk 😋

Hats off to you kerry for trying a cake mixture in the Ninja. Not really sure how much would be saved energy wise?. Personally l still prefer my mini oven for cakes.❤Love how you are not daunted by a challenge in full view,makes you special❤.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Trish🥰🥰🥰Not a lot I reckon as the time it took to bake phewie! Good to experiment so others needn't bother, I like that aspect of it 😄👍💕💕

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Hi Kerry, it didn't turn out too bad, i thought you could have used the under side for the top. That's the only thing with just having one element. I made the tray bake the other day but i only had 3 eggs so i didn't use as much flour. Instead of putting it right on the bottom i used a square foil container, i do think the air fryers turn out a drier cake than the oven. What I'm going to try next time is putting a bit water in the bottom and use the foil container again

[@loismaudson6322]

hi Kerry well worth a go,enjoyed the video

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Lois😃💕💕

[@chrisrinelambert9418]

[@bevdwyer2509]

I saw recently that a cake should have an internal temp of 98 C. Maybe that would help to know that it’s done if you have an instant read thermometer.

[@budgetcookinguk]

That's really helpful thank you 😃👍💕💕

[@Silverdale15]

That's very good to know as I'm about to do a sponge in the oven!!!

[@valerierowell6631]

Yes, always check with a thermometer, after you've tested with a skewer... just to make sure.

[@valerierowell6631]

That looks delicious... next time, try Strawberry Jam on the top and sprinkle on some Dessicated Coconut...if you like it! Also... just line the bottom, and use Lakeland Cake release. I'm going to try this in mine...thanks for that!

[@metalrabbit09]

I wonder if you'd be willing to try the traybake experiment again in the Cosori TurboBlaze maybe with tin foil trick. I wonder if the adjusted fan speed makes a difference.

[@MH-qg4yl]

Hi Kerry would it be better to preheat the air fryer with cakes as you would with the oven 🤔

[@budgetcookinguk]

I contemplated that but it had the parchment paper inside, wasn't sure what would happen to it😄👍💕💕plus I do not normally preheat AF before baking as it's such a small unit it diesnt seem to need it

[@daphneivey9404]

I cook a victoria sponge in 2 6inch cake tins at 160 for 26 mins, comes out perfect every time

[@budgetcookinguk]

I do too Daphne, this was an experiment

[@silversurferlils9176]

Do you bake yours in the ninja dual Daphne?

[@silversurferlils9176]

Could you have turned it over when you took it out to check the first time? I saw you said you make a Victoria Sandwich could you do a video on that please in the ninja

[@silversurferlils9176]

Thanks for the test on our behalf, you could have spread jam and desiccated coconut on top too .

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Like othera have said preheating could have helped, i know it might sound silly but i wet my parchment paper and always scrunch it up as i find it sits better. It might be worth trying that the next time. I think it didnt look too bad but i do find they seem a tad moist/wetter than normal but as always it trial and error and you always show us regardless of the results which I love. I made ahortbread for the first time in the air fryer to which Harriaon said "it tastes like real shortbread" dont know what he thought it was going to taste of haha. Have a lovely weekend Kerry xxxxx Jac ♥️💚

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Will you stop apologising for being a Mum, you put out the videos, and we comment, you don't have to answer everyone all of the time xxxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

I need to try the wetting the parchment paper technique Jac, I've not tried that before. The cosori dual blaze is better but then it's got the advantage of the bottom element as well as the top. Love your shortbread pics (replied!) plus the chicken oops no duck fan! pic lol. Re the other thing, someone said "why am i not responding to the comments any more?!, it's a shame blah blah". Its amazing how one slightly negative comment can effect you!🥴🥴

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk I do that as a rule now, Kerry, and you don't notice. Just remember to give it a shake as obviously the water sits on the top. It also makes it more playable. I have replied to the chicken ops no it's a duck 😅😅. Honestly, do not let it bother you. You are a busy mum, running a house, kids a beautiful dog (hugs to Rosie), 2 youtube channels to entertain us. It's not just a case of pointing the camera and publish. It's a lot of behind the scenes work that we don't see that takes up so much time. The fact that you even respond to any is amazing, so NO, don't let it bother you. Love to you all from us all xxxxx Jac ♥️💚

[@j.brewer7717]

Well said. I totally agree with you. Kerry, you work so hard what with family commitments, plus two channels of which you do an absolutely amazing job with. People don't realise just how much goes into producing these. Please ignore the negative comments and please don't feel the need to get back to us all. We just love that you do the two channels to entertain us and really look forward to watching them. Keep up the excellent work🙏💖🙏 Jen xx

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@j.brewer7717 I wonder if Kerry put out a video showing just how difficult running even 1 youtube channel is never mind 2, then people might not be as quick to comment. Kerry is far too hard on herself. She is down to earth with no heirs and graces. That's what draws you in and not a reply on a vlog. Xxx Jac 💚♥️

[@badger999]

i'm not much of a baker , but maybe try again and pre-heat ninja so the bottom get's a good blast from the start, and maybe 180°C

[@badger999]

ps, i do love your recipes though. you are the reason i started saving , it totally makes sense as a single . i tend not to make much food that needs the oven as it always hurts , so much space to heat for so little food :D

I considered pre heating but had put in the parchment paper and rubbed marg on the inside so wasn't sure what would happen if I gave it a blast 🥴😃👍👍💕💕

[@barbarajobling5665]

Hi there, good try. I think preheating might help another time.

I considered pre heating Barbara, but had lined the basket so thought hmmm maybe not, wasn't sure if the paper would be adversely affected 😃👍

Did you preheat first .. otherwise you would have had a cold start hence taking more time to start cooking. It looked ok however.

[@budgetcookinguk]

I didn't Karen, wasn't sure how that would effect parchment paper that I had already put into the basket 👍👍

[@karentoynton8948]

@@budgetcookinguk yes I agree with heat your saying , I was thinking it may have helped putting the batter into a warm area at the start but your right, if it was in a separate tin , that could be possible, but impossible, unless you had two baskets and just used the tray on one side for pre heating , then when hot put the batter tray in to that side, however I do not have two baskets on mine so not sure how that may work. Maybe just cook a little hotter then reduce temp. The cake looked ok however Kerry , maybe not one of my best thoughts hehe. Must have been my major op , it gave me a blonde moment hahs, as they say.

I have, link here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKOaqYWdZ8iXi8Usi=KrOcv3lslyrRofCI we call the thing that makes a cake a cake a sponge - I copied this off of google as my explanation makes little sense lol: Sponge cake is a light cake made with egg, flour and sugar, sometimes leavened with baking powder. Some sponge cakes do not contain egg yolks, like angel food cake, but most of them do. Sponge cakes, leavened with beaten eggs, originated during the Renaissance, possibly in Spain. Hope that helps!😃👍👍
