Wow, thank you. Don't panic, Don't panic - there isn't no panic here. I can tell you a few years ago we were in a shopping center in an earth quake - everything shaking, everyone running. My boy and wife distressed as well. I said stop. Look around and walk out. There was nothing falling, no glass shattering. Needless to say everyone ran out and I walked out. There you go a bit of my history. Best, Rik

Annette you are totally right. Never a days illness from licking the spoon's. Its the same as the sell by dates and throwing produce away - if its been stored correctly it can be used after the date. There was No dates back in the day. A strange old world we all now live in. Best, Rik

I’ve seen a number of your recipes now and the way you use the hascienda air fryer and how easy it is to use I’ve just bought one. I can’t wait for it to arrive. After my mum baked a cake we always cleaned the bowl either with our fingers or the wooden spoon, or if she was making an apple pie we would eat the core of the apple. I still eat the remains of a raw cake, it’s the best part before the cake arrives. When did all the fun go out from baking

Pound cake vs Madeira Cake: what's the difference?
@BackyardChef
6 ай бұрын
Pound cake and Madeira cake, both beloved for their rich flavour and dense texture, differ primarily in their origin, ingredients, and texture. Pound cake, rooted in early American baking, earned its name from the traditional recipe that called for a pound each of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. This simple formula results in a rich, buttery cake with a moist, dense texture. Modern variations might adjust the proportions or add flavors like vanilla, lemon, or almond. Madeira cake, hailing from Britain, is lighter and often served with Madeira wine. Its ingredients include flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, similar to pound cake, but in differing proportions. It typically features lemon zest or juice for a subtle citrus flavour, making it less dense and more delicate than pound cake. Madeira cake is also known for its close crumb and is commonly enjoyed in the afternoon with tea or as a dessert. Best, Rik
