It's a Victoria Sponge...
Dead easy, but delicious!

No need for the sarcasm - I've never really baked anything/made dessert before so I am looking to conquer some next

Thanks for the reply though, shall give it a go this week!

That is one high sugar and fat cake. Makes my waffle seems like a diet food

The more sugar and fat in a home-baked cake the better

100g butter presumably?

Nope, 200g!

From my understanding, Victoria sponges are easy to remember as the ingredients are of identical weight!

He's talking about your really low-fat buttercream recipe...

Buttercream filling is just 100g sugar + 140g icing sugar beaten until combined. Slap that on one side, raspberry jam on the other et voilá!Bosh!

Yup. I should've been more specific

 

[OCdude]

Haha oh yes, whoops! Sugar + Icing sugar would have made for a rather crunchy filling

Check out my marbling... fo shuuure.

I took these out by mistake, so had to cook them.

Done?

Not even eating them tonight, I've got pulled pork...

Sans mop.

Mrs RS has been playing in the kitchen today for her friends birthday, so above are meringues. She's currently doing some truffles, the raspberry marshmallows are cooling and she also knocked me up a cake to take on holiday.

Oh, she also did a cake for the eldest's school, covered in ganache and a bakewell tart!

She's had a busy baking day...

well I would be eating 2 boiled eggs and soldiers but we only have 1 egg.

^^ wrong thread.

Gorgeous! Every time i have venison i wonder why I've left it so long between, it's also very healthy.

EDIT oh yeah here's a photo of the inside

That looks pretty much perfect to me. I'm off to the butchers!

Have been trying out a few new things the last couple of days.

Moroccan Kefta Tagine, which is basically lamb meatballs in a spicy tomato and honey sauce with runny eggs on top.

My own home-made Italian bread.

Panzanella, an Italian dressed bread salad.

Calzone. Rolled pizza dough with salami, pepperoni, mushroom, garlic, capers, pesto, mozzarella and basil. Makes quite a nice change from fairly greasy pasties.

That all looks so lush! I'm making a calzone today as well! Chicken, chorizo, pepper, mozzarella and tomato pesto.

 

[randomshenans]

All of the above I would hoover up in seconds. Can you come round please?

Thanks, that sounds like a good filling too.

Haha, only if you do all the dishes!

Interesting shaped meringues, left set are lime the others are just plain, also made a ganache for them. Never actually eaten a meringue but turns out I don't really like them much, never mind had to do something with the egg whites though.

Aren't they just basically sugar?

Egg whites and sugar.

Have you had pavlova? So much nicer than meringues with the texture change.
All I find meringues good for is the usual smash up and much into a hole ton of whipped cream.

 

[Azza]

Nah I haven't though I'm not sure I'd be a fan of that either. I've only just realised why I don't like roulades as well or at least the ones that I've had and I think it's because they've been meringue based. I actually felt sick after eating the 3rd one.

They definitely won't be on my come dine with me menu!
