Hi nifdem, here is a link to a sponge cake recipe, its in grams and hopefully this will turn out nice. I haven't tried it out yet but if you let me, I can make it tonight and give you a review tomorrow. http://red-brolly.com/2014/07/how-to-make-a-perfect-sponge/ Please I'm just a regular person so no to 'ma' if you don't mind. Thanks |

I appreciate ur effort..thanks so much mooretes: |

No worries babes Just a quick one, with a fluffy/soft sponge cake the main work is in beating the eggs. For me, my main sponge recipe and what I always keep in mind is: Equal weight measurement of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. I tend to use self raising flour as opposed to plain flour because you end up adding baking powder to your plain flour mix. Self raising flour can be made using 1 cup/110g or 150g plain flour (the gram measurement depends on what you use in calculating) 2 teaspoon of baking powder Add both ingredients together and sift so as to incorporate. Or 1cup plain flour 1 and a Half teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Mix well and sift Both recipes make a cup of self raising flour. The main recipe I tend to use if I want to make a quick cake is 175g flour, sugar, butter and 3 eggs (if you want you can weigh you eggs, it should fall to about 175g depending on the size). 1-2 tablespoon of milk. Mix as per normal, bake in 140-160 degrees for 35-50mins if batter was poured in just a pan. Fir the previous recipe, I am just trying it out and my 3 eggs weighed 171g. This is fine as long as it is not well under or over. I also tried the Kenwood strawberry and cream sponge cake, http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/cooking-with-kenwood/recipes/kitchen-machines-recipes/cakes-pastries-and-biscuits/strawberries-and-cream-sponge# The recipe was quite good, only you need to mix your sugar and egg until pale, like you are making meringue. Cakes almost done will post a photo soon Btw: A chocolate cake is a variation of a sponge cake, only that recipes are tweaked to fit their deacription. I believe most times when we say sponge in Nigeria, we tend to imply victoria sponge. |

@mooretes you are a darling, i decided to try the chocolate cake today. Will post a pic. Pls keep sharing them recipes, if u also have low calorie and healthy ones, pls share. Thanks a bunch Modified: its not bad but don't really like it, prefer normal cake that is soft n moist.

Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 11:52am On Dec 09, 2015 |
@mrsOJ, no worries. Will post some healthy ones here too. Would like yo see a photo when you are done. Quick review of the vanilla/victoria cake I made yesterday The cake was really soft last night after coming out of the oven Leaving it to the elements (its winter so quite cold) it turned out a little bit dried out. So how do we prevent this? I have read to keep your cake moist, As soon as its out of the pan, place a slice bread on top, by the morning your bread becomes hard and your cake stays moist I haven't tried this method However, to keep my cake moist for longer, I tend to wrap it up in greaseproof or baking paper as soon as its out of the pan and I freeze straight away. All my cakes have stayed fresh and moist. Also for the sponge cake, depending on the recipe, you can add about 4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup or 60ml to 1cup/250ml of milk. Hope it helps |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by Nobody: 12:17pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
mooretes: Don't know how to measure in grams plus my scale is not accurate that's why i prefer cup measurements. For the chocolate cake love the coffee taste in it. |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 12:29pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
That's fine. Cake is a science and if the measurements are inaccurate you run the risk of turning it into something else. I take it you've finished the cake, can we see the photo then please? Thanks |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by Nobody: 12:35pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
mooretes: Sorry forgot to snap remembered after dividing the cake, here's my share.

Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 2:11pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
Awww, the cake looks exactly how it should. What did people say? Thanks for sharing. Ive had mine for over a week now and it still looks good. I'm not a big chocolate cake fan so don't eat it at all. But tbh its fantastic and not sweet at all, like you say, you can taste the coffee. If you like buttercream, you can try her recipe too

Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 4:23pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
@nifdem, If I was to choose btw the Kenwood recipe and the one I tried yday, I will pick the Kenwood as the cake turned out really great even after day two. http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/cooking-with-kenwood/recipes/kitchen-machines-recipes/cakes-pastries-and-biscuits/strawberries-and-cream-sponge# Just follow the instruction. Let us know how it turns out Thanks in advance |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by nifdem: 4:51pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
Thanks so much...this Kenwood method is a bit different compare to the creaming of sugar and butter method dt am used to. mooretes: |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 6:35pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
@mrsoj, glad they liked it. @nifdem, please remember there is no butter in this recipe, instead of the normal paddle attachment of your mixer, you will need go use the balloon whisk. If you don't have a mixer, it will take a long time but you will need to use ab egg beater or whisk and cream until it looks pale/white, I'm unsure how long this will take in terms of timing. I hope all turns out well for you. MrsOJ will send you a peach and Greek yoghurt cake recipe, it is quite healthy, however doesn't keep long. We tend eat it with homemade peach frozen yoghurt. 1 Like |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 6:38pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
@nifdem, forgive me, there is butter only not as much as what most recipes call for and the butter is added (softened) after you have creamed the sugar and eggs Sorry for the mix up, the recipe does call for 75g of butter 1 Like |

hello all, I love this forum, pls I need help, I am a new baker, I HV been baking for two months now but I noticed that this dry season the snacks get dried in space of 2hrs, pls what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make it right. pls help |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by chigal4real: 10:55pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
also when I bake cake, the sides comes out dried, pls what do I do |
Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by mooretes: 1:03pm On Dec 10, 2015 |
Hi chigal4real, I'm unsure how to respond to your question as I do not live in Nigeria. However, to keep your cake fresh, I would probably wrap it up as soon as its cool to touch. Also you can add glycerine to your cake mix to keep it from drying out. From memory I think it is a teaspoon of glycerine, please do not quote me but I will check and get back to you on it. Cheers |

Happy new year all and happy new month too. Finally got round to posting the recipe for the healthy cake option I talked about. So here we go Peaches and Blueberry greek yoghurt cake (http://juliasalbum.com) 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 stick butter, softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 peaches, sliced into wedges 6 oz blueberries 1 teaspoon granulated sugar Preheat oven 180 mix all dry ingredients together and sift. In a separate bowl, mix butter, sugar, and add two eggs, for roughly 3 minutes, then add the greek yoghurt. Mix for about 1 minute then add the flour mixture. Mix on low speed and transfer into cake pan. Top with the peaches (in a fan fashion) and blueberries. Sprinkle with the teaspoon of sugar and bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes clean. Hope it turns out well for you as it did for me. |

This cake was impromptu. A colleague needed it urgently for her mum's birthday and I had no choice but to help her out. I started decorating around 4am, the morning she was to collect it and at daybreak I realized the covering was too thin. I had to come up with something to cover up the flaw... then I remembered a youtube video on making fondant pleats I watched and this was what I came up with. 3 Likes
