I do like to make cakes - but I usually buy a box mix and then frost it as I like - I like Betty crocker and duncan hines... bake from a box and frost your self and dont be too hard on yourself... there are a lot of things tht can go wrong - from baking powder to oil to flour lumps... I make cookies often and yet sometimes one batch turns out different from the other - sometimes i figure it out sometimes its a mystery...<br />That being said here are a few recipes you might like and they are super simple... <br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2011/05/scalloped-tomatoes.html<br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2009/12/crustless-spinach-and-feta-mini-quiche.html<br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2010/04/persian-vegetable-omelette.html<br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2011/01/eggless-brownies.html<br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2011/04/triple-chocolate-cookies-eggless.html<br />http://cookingfoodie.blogspot.com/2010/04/eggplant-parmesan.htmlCooking Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612064730387446326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347458201815856112.post-66740786758991748332011-07-03T13:04:03.186+03:002011-07-03T13:04:03.186+03:00miri...im gonna be honest here..baking is difficul...miri...im gonna be honest here..baking is difficult to say the least...and you need incredible amounts of patience... I know because i have had so so so so many disastrous results and still continue to do so. If you dont know what folding is, you just wont get it right, if you dont know how to whip egg whites till they hold a certain shape (which btw i still dont know), it screws up your sponge cake, if you dont know what beating the egg yolk till it doubles in size u are again screwed. I dont know any of these techniques and i end up throwing it all in the bin. If it was any other cooking aspect i would have given up long back. But i like baking and more so like eating baked goodies:) so i keep trying.<br />In a way its good that so many of my stuff doesnt come out great cos i wont have 2 eat all tht buttery high cal stuff ..so i console myself saying so. All i can say is, follow the recipe 2 the dot..procedure tho, watch a video of what consistencies look like and that could help ya.<br />dont fret so much over baking miri...screw ups are part of life (ok now im sounding really philosophical) :)<br />btw did i tell u i have retorted back 2 betty crocker mixes...have fallen in love with them all over again..wonder y i was slogging it out all the while :)My Kitchen Anticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313104897544828417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347458201815856112.post-15148910917506024742011-07-03T05:56:26.727+03:002011-07-03T05:56:26.727+03:00I am sure you'll get your mojo back. Baking is...I am sure you'll get your mojo back. Baking is pretty scientific and you first need to be familiar with your oven because each oven has a mind of it's own. Try different combinations, and remember to make a note of what worked the best.Importantly, don't give up. Make a smaller cake, half recipe, so you don't feel too bad if things fail. Maybe you can try this recipe. http://www.passionateaboutbaking.com/2010/09/baking-chocolate-buttermilk-pound-cake-change-is-the-only-constant.html<br />It's one of my favourites and works with a number of different flavour combinations.<br />Good luck, and I know you'll come out a winner!Deeba PABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333008494519621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347458201815856112.post-70693729830254286632011-07-03T04:48:15.171+03:002011-07-03T04:48:15.171+03:00Thanks for the explanation, Miri.

But after I started blogging ,things changed not because I developed any liking for cakes but because I did not want my blog to lag behind .I watched lot of TV shows and saw videos on baking. The banana muffins and brownies in my website was tried after watching a TV show by a very famous culinary expert.Don't give up.
