I'm in the mood (basically because I have an essay due) to find some lovely cake recipes and make them...

Does anyone have simple and beautful or more complicated and impressive cake recipes to share?

I want a baking club. I enjoy the feeling of being a domestic goddess.

At the moment I'm sort of intrigued by this one, for a chocolate cake, because the baker of it has said it's very naughty - look at the ingredients!

3 cups plain flour

1 teaspoon Vanilla

2 3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

3 teaspoons Baking Powder

3 eggs

1/4 cup cream

1 1/2 cup milk

1 cup softened butter

2 and three quarter cups of sugar? Hmm... It has to be unhealthily good, right...?

Sift dry ingredients into bowl, then add butter, eggs, vanilla and milk. Beat well on medium speed for 5 minutes.

Add cream and turn into greased tin.

Bake in Mod. to slow oven (160-180) for 2 hours.

I'm not sure about it but I think I'll try it. What's a cup in weights measurements?

That sounds good. I am sad that I have no recipes to share, but I might get my sister to type up her german apple cake later. It's a whole new sin.

My mum bakes the most gorgeous cakes. I'll get some recipes off her when I talk to her tomorrow, I want to bake too. Your cake sounds divine.
