"Lemon & raspberry drizzle
Parkin
Chocolate Guinness cake
Love the sound of the lemon and raspberry drizzle! "
Lends it a juicy pop. Can save a lacklustre drizzle (perish the thought). I bet a raspberry ripple driz would be incredible, swirl some raspberry jam through the mix.  |

My trick for moist sponge whatever the recipe is to add one extra (small) egg than called for in the recipe, then bake for 5-10mins longer that recipe says, checking at recommended baking time to see if knife comes out clean, then at 5 extra mins and then at 10. It's rare I need to go to ten extra mins when checking |

"I’m trying to change my diet, and this thread pops up…….. 
Low fat cakes maybe??"
You can use sugar substitute like canderel but the cakes tend to be dense ,unless you really beat the butter/ marg and canderel till it doubles in size. |

For the base:-
200g biscoff (caramelized) biscuits 50g ginger nuts

The Filling:-
500g Cream cheese
100g Icing sugar
300ml Double cream
1 tap Vanilla extract
100g Smooth Biscoff spread
Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar with an electric whisk untill smooth, the beat in the cream and vanilla until it is thick and holds it's shape.
Add half the cream cheese mixture to the chilled base and smooth flat, then with a teaspoon add small blobs of biscoff spread evenly across the cake. Then add the remaining cream cheese mixture, covering the blobs of biscoff spread and spread into a smooth finish.
Chill in the fridge for at least 6hrs
To decorate:-
50g biscoff spread

Drizzle artfully over the cheesecake once you've taken it out of the tin and then top with the remaining biscuits.

I think it was BBC Good Food site that has the most delicious vegan carrot cake recipe. It's an absolute faff to make, but by-'eck it's blummin tasty!
A chap who used to work at my current company always used to bring one in whenever there was a bakesale (sorry for the Americanism) and it was always one of the first to be nabbed.
I baked it once and made it gluten free too (extra faff, lol) cos we had so navy allergies in the team at one point. |

I think before the year is out, we need to have a FAB bake off. We can have bakers and judges. Throw in some alcohol and we have a party |

It would be great if it could be arranged - Mr. B, I think you just nominated yourself to be the organiser! |

My husband is a pretty decent baker, and will successfully try his hand at anything. One which he hated making was an Angel Food Cake, as it was a "boring" process, and far too much waste when there isn't much to do with the 10 egg yolks you have to discard in the making of it.
He made the mistake of producing a pumpkin cake one Halloween, and now a friend pesters him to make one every year! Normally, I wouldn't go anywhere near it, but it was absolutely sodding delicious, with the best frosting.
I had my birthday not long ago, and instead of the expected cake, he made be one of my favourites - the humble Pineapple Upside-Down cake, with some candles stuck in it. Lovely!!!!
Thank god he's humble about it, usually saying: "Once you've spend all the time baking it, you can't be arsed to eat it once it's finished". |

You could use the egg yolks to make custard or a curd |

"You could use the egg yolks to make custard or a curd"
True, but when baking an Angel Food Cake, custard or curd doesn't really go with it, and risking a Technicolor yawn if you have them together! |

Good results I'd definitely eat the top 3, then 5 to 8 |

I am fully aware they don't go well together.
Both custard and curd can be kept for at least a week in the fridge. |

Might give them a go in the cooler weather. Did the silly thing of making a treacle tart earlier, and even though it was served with double-cream, this hot weather really makes it a tough old eat. |

Ooo fond memories of treacle tart and spotted dick when I was a kid…. But homemade custard and lashings of cream wins me over …. |
