Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

I see Potsy's on TV tonight, his new helmet cam and Strava log are being featured.

I would make you @Biscuit but it might not be a good idea ... my kitchen-related mini-disasters continue. Not me injured this time, but a plate will be undergoing re-constructive surgery later on. You may expect a thread asking for suggestions to remove superglue and/or crockery from one's fingers.

1/3 of the cake has been eaten, that's pretty good for Dad at this time in the morning! I had reduced the sugar by 1/3 so it isn't too sweet for him.

Time to do some design work now.

How much have you helped him eat the cake?

I would like to know where Leo went two days ago. Can he borrow Potsy's headcam?

He left the house as a white cat, but returned several hours later as a grey and black cat. It is no exageration to say that his paws are completely black, and the colour of his legs fades slowly through dark grey to light grey. If I thought I would survive giving him a bath, I would do so.

I bet Snipe is scared to go in there with you .

When I roared with pain and the saucepan went flying, she ran to get her tennis ball to give to me as a pre-emptive apology in case it was her fault

I don't think I will need anymore for a while, BOGOF from wiggle only a couple of quid than buying 3 tubes of SIS tabs locally ............. no BO though

 

[Biscuit]

I'd love to see someone try and get the cat into that contraption. *goes to search on you tube *

Yes, I await the results of your research.

Not much, I have another remember?

Half the cake gone now and Dad is a happy man.

@Night Train

Do you use golden caster sugar or "white" caster sugar in your cakes? I accidentally bought the white variety recently, and when I made a sponge pudding with it, the sponge was much lighter (in texture) than with the golden caster sugar.
Is this a coincidence?

As I was cooking it in the microwave, I added some wholemeal self-raising flour to the white self-raising flour.

I have not forgotten our secret rendezvous tonight at 8pm.

I am using white caster sugar. Not tried the golden variety so no idea how that will turn out.

 

[Speicher]

I have bought the Golden variety in the past, as it is supposedly less processed, and not so much of the molasses is removed. If the white variety produces a lighter texture, that is better.
