Evening everyone. Nicos, a quick question. I tried your banana cake...is it meant to be light and fluffy or is it meant to feel like a house brick and taste pretty soggy?!!

Never made it before!
My oven went off after 20 mins too!

Yup mine is pretty soggy, but nice with a bit of butter on it...bit like tea bread perhaps?
I like the flavour . This lunchtime a cut a slice put on a dollop of thick cream and sliced a peach onto it...and it was a delish combination!
one of the reviews said it was nice and moist inside.

Nicos had a slice with my tea and it's not too bad. It became a bit lighter as it cooled.

[Nicos]

Worth me trying again then?

[Jay22]

If you have some ripe bananas I would say yes. Wonder if instead of using two bananas you used only one if it would make a difference?

Morning all
Just about to go catch my train for the journey home.
Have a good day everyone

my banana cake is quite light and fluffy ( recipe uses 2 bananas, don't know if it's the same one though) but it has to stay in the oven for twice as long as the recipe says )

Morning all. Looks as if its going to be another nice day here. Its the kids sports day at school this afternoon so that's the afternoon gone.
Might potter about in the garden again this morning. Get some more seeds planted.
Cuppa anyone?
Have a good day everyone

Morning everyone

Yes please, to cuppa NVG - and hope it stays nice for kids sports day ~ I'm not many miles away from you, unyet it's grey, rainy and yuk...!!!

Just been and rescued the garlic I'd pulled yesterday, left out to 'dry', huh - fat chance of that today......!
My 'outdoors' plans for today appear to have been scuppered......

Have a good day all, hope weather stays kind!

Morning all - just off for the croissants :-)

Morning everyone. Weather seems good here, cloudy but sun trying to come out. Lovely listening to the birds which is a lot nicer than the news? Exciting day today I am in the garden all day. Will be on forum with lots of questions, very likely.
Hope sports day goes well.

Eugh, sports day. My daughter hates it because she's not sporty at all and it has always upset her that she cannot run as fast as other kids and always comes last. We have to sit through 2-3 hours (last year in unbearable heat) to watch her compete in 1 thing that they're required to find her to do. Great for kids who enjoy it but not so great for kids like mine - she would honestly rather sit a maths paper than do sports.

Currently wishing for rain. Our water butts are empty for the very first time this year and have been empty for past 3 days. Soil is very dry and cracked on top so a real job to keep stuff like the marrows and squash watered enough.

Looking forward to lunch as hubby is taking me out for a meal. Not a special occasion either so that's even better.

Hope you have a good day all

Morning all, up early this morning as Harry dog had another small fit. He is back in bed sound asleep and I'm here! Still dull but dry although the ground is sodden.
Hope you all have a lovely day. Safe trip SP, hope sports day goes well NVG and I'll say yes please to that cuppa since Shen is off for the croissants!

Morning its dry out but not for long by how heavy it feels outside.

Cover it in custard i find that always helps when cakes turn out 'different'

[bearded bloke]

Morning all
