Homework gang...respect

My granny always cracked eggs into a saucer first incase it was a bad egg. If you cracked it straight in then all the mixture was ruined. Nowadays it is rare to find a bad egg as they all have the date stamped on them.

[@Minyassa]

I still do it out of fear...rare doesn't mean unheard-of and I've had a friend crack a rotten egg into his batter before and lost the whole batch so I'm willing to wash an extra bowl just in case!

[@tulikakarmakar98]

I think I've fallen in love with paul :p

[@cathybarbagallo5838]

Your temperature is 180, but I usually use a convection oven, which would be 20% less.... are you assuming convection or "normal"? Thank you!

Where is the recept?????

[@saeidehrad5070]

how much baking powder?

[@joshtherock223]

I know 1 teaspoon of baking powder

[@saeidehrad5070]

@Zowle lol

[@jennjenneightyeight3968]

Ingredients checklist 4 free-range eggs 225g/8oz caster sugar 225g/8oz self-raising flour 2 tsp baking powder 225g/8oz baking spread, margarine or soft butter at room temperature, plus a little extra to grease the tins 200g good-quality strawberry or raspberry jam A little icing sugar for dusting the finished cake

[@jennjenneightyeight3968]

This came from fabflour.com. He said he used plain flour so I would too and use 2 tsp baking powder. The baking powder should be left out if using self raising flour.

[@saeidehrad5070]

@@jennjenneightyeight3968 that's so kind of you to answer, thanks a lot 🙏

GCSE work come on

[@ellieg7151]

here for homework😭

[@alisonwilliams5355]

Thank you, my Victoria Sponge dipped in the middle & think I may be put just a little too much baking powder in & over mixing it. I also used SR flour as I was following a Mary Berry recipe, which are usually great.

[@sparklebox11]

Would this recipe be firm enough to hold fondant?

[@CesarSandoval024]

So this is more like a genuois cake
