So far this week I've done lolly cake with a twist, chocolate chippies, scones and I've really impressed everyone because baking is SO unheard of for me.
Sooooooo have you got any help/tips/recipes for any baking or easy nice family meals!
Thank you so much!

Hi billyjessie.well done and so glad to hear you are enjoying it. For baking ideas, there are a couple of threads. The "Cakes" thread and the "biscuits and slices" thread.

Agree on addictive - Just made the BEST triple chocolate biscuits. Instead of vanilla essence I used this vanilla paste stuff with seeds in it, used just enough so that you can see a few seeds through-out the biscuit. DIVINE.

I'm about to put this in the oven. Soo easy!
Butterless Banana Cake :
1.5 cups of plain flour 3 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 3/4 cup of sugar
Sift into large bowl, then add :
2 eggs (lightly beaten) 1/2 cup oil (I use Olys or Rice Bran) 3 mashed bananas
Mix and pour into a lined cake tin. Bake at 150 C for 1 hour. 15 Prep time - and it's lovely! Ice with icing of your choice.

with cakes, grease bottom then dust some flour over the bottom. Then bang the flour around to coat. Bang out excess flour. That or grease, line with baking paper.
Muffins,cupcakes, a little oil sprayed in to muffin tins.
When baking with carrots or apples, don't peel! all the goodness is just under the skin and is nice in cakes and puds and muffins:)
No sifter! I use a whisk!
Fruit muffins, have a shaker with cinnamon and sugar mix to shake over before baking them.
Left over wins! Freeze down in ice trays and add to stews, mince and gravies.

cream butter and sugar - it should look very pale in color and some like to beat butter then add sugar and beat again for ages. Should have no sugar crystals and smooth as.
Use eggs at room temp along with butter. Butter its soft, not melted!
I often double then freeze down and make a few things at once seeming the oven is going. Ice when defrosted.

Try the Magical Orange Cake it is deliciously simple and the only fiddly bit is taking out pips of the orange if there are any in it.I cut the orange into quarters and then process it and then add rest of ingredients.
