What's the last thing you baked?

Me and my sister baked some raspberry trifle cupcakes for our mums birthday yesterday. The frosting required us to make custard from scratch which neither of us has done before - the first attempt was horrible but the second try was fab. The cupcakes were absolutely delicious (I ate 3..........)

carrot & courgette muffins from I Can Cook recipe.  Planning on homemade goldfish crackers this week sometime.

Cranberry orange cookies. They taste like UK flapjacks more than an actual cookie though. Strange.

Thanks  I've had carrot cake with pineapple before and it definitely makes it more moist and a bit sweeter.

I'm thinking about trying Pioneer woman's carrot cake recipe, but the pictures don't look as carroty as I want, either    I think I'm just going to have to experiment with more carrots and adjusted cook-times.

I've made the be-ro carrot cake and that seemed good

I made a raspberry bakewell tart for DH which he didn't eat 

I made a loaf of bread, but my bread-fu continues to be bread-foo and I forgot the sugar so it didn't rise 

and I made carrot cake muffins but this recipe (nigel slater's) doesn't have enough carrots, either.  I need a brilliant, bursting with carrots and incredibly moise carrot cake recipe!

Ina Garten has the most AMAZING Carrot & Pineapple cake recipe EVER. I make this regularly and I am requested to bring it to gatherints. its super easy and delish. With the frosting, I often put Philly creamcheese in a coffee filter overnight with a can on top to get some of the water out, otherwise its too soft and falls off of the cake. All the ingredients can be found in the UK and its just a super no fail recipe.

Thanks! I've bookmarked those two carrot cake recipes as well

Gluten free blackberry cobbler with the berries we picked yesterday. It was my first attempt at gluten free baking and I am very pleased with how it came out!

Ghirardelli chocolate brownies  They're quite delish!

Plain oatmeal cookies.  Didn't realise we were out of raisins until I was already elbow deep in butter and sugar! 

Millionaire's shortcake, marble cake.and chocolate cup cakes for work. Little tickled off that my office doesn't like things that are home made and not full of e numbers. But I have lots of birthday cake left for me

I made a gorgeous devil's food cake last night from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything book's recipe.  Ended up being a bit perilous as the power cut out right after I'd only had the layers in the oven for 5 minutes, and it stayed off for 2 hours!  I was really afraid it wouldn't turn out, because you fold beaten egg whites into the batter at the last before baking, to give it extra oomph.

Well it might have raised a bit higher (had the power not cut off for two hours), but I still went ahead & baked it in the end - it came out tasting pretty darn good.

And I have finally decided - any (US) recipe that calls for cake flour?  Use 00 flour (available at Sainsburys & probably Waitrose & also our local delis carry it) - Bob's your uncle!  It says on the packet that it's for making pasta & pastries, etc.  But it's a finely milled flour (as is cake flour) & the cake came out wonderfully with the crumb & texture, etc.
