Fast Cakes: Easy Bakes in Minutes

Product Information

Measure all the ingredients except the cocoa and icing sugar into a large bowl and beat well with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Put half the mixture in another bowl and add the cocoa powder. Mix well. There are scones, buns and biscuits that you can whip up for tea, traybakes and fruit loaves perfect for a school or village fete and of course foolproof cakes for every occasion from everyday recipes such as a Honey and Almond Cake to Mary's First-Rate Chocolate Cake. Not forgetting recipes you can make with your kids from Happy Face Biscuits to Traffic Lights and Jammy Buns. To start with the book is beautiful. It is so pretty, and heavy and everything that a cookbook should be. Loosen the edges, then set aside to cool in the tin. When cold, take out of the tin and leave to chill in the fridge.

Excellent cookbook from Queen Mary. Almost all the bakes in here are great. I have tried a couple of them and they have turned out well. Put large spoonfuls of both cake mixtures in the tin, then swirl the two together with a skewer to create a marbled effect.The recipes are all well laid out, short instructions, no nonsense and easy to follow. She doesn't use complicated baking terms, so beginners and kids can have a go with ease. Put all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and pour over the cooled sauce. Mix well until evenly coated. The recipes are as advertised; they come together FAST! They are also delicious, family cooking together friendly, simple enough to do on a weeknight. As a bonus reading, them you can hear Mary Berry's voice in your head like she is commentating on GBBO. Return to the oven for a final 10 minutes, until the cheesecake is just set with a slight wobble in the middle. Sounds fantastic Moulins! This cake has become a firm favourite in this family . . . the only cake I make nowadays! The recipe has been given to several friends, including a 78 year old widower at the croquet club which is lovely :)

In addition to the easy tray bakes and family cakes there are some recipes to interest the seasoned baker such as battenberg cake, or my favorite brandy snaps that need to be rolled around a wooden spoon while still warm to achieve their tube-like form, ready for filling with cream! There are a lot of different flavors to choose from also. Measure the cream cheese and flour into another bowl and beat with an electric hand-held whisk until smooth. Add the vanilla, eggs, sugar and double cream, whisk again until well blended, then pour the mixture over the crumb base. There are scones, buns and biscuits that you can whip up for tea, traybakes and fruit loaves perfect for a school or village fete and of course foolproof cakes for every occasion from everyday recipes such as a Honey and Almond Cake to Mary's First-Rate Chocolate Cake.

Put all the cake ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Divide between the two tins, and level out evenly. I love Mary Berry. Everyone loves Mary Berry. This book is Mary Berry at her finest, sharing easy bakes that only take minutes to prepare. I will be trying out everything in this book, I hope. It's that wonderful.
