Robert's favourite - carrot cake.
As you can see this cake is so popular in our house that some of it has gone before I got the chance to photograph it.
Look what I made Daddy!
Robert's first try at making a home-made loaf, wholemeal and absolutely scrummy buttered whilst still warm from the oven. I got the recipe from Delicious magazine (I'm a subscriber) and its so easy to make. Just put 500g strong bread flour in a bowl with a pinch of salt and 14g easy blend yeast, 50mls olive oil and about 300ml cold tap water - yes I did say cold water. Apparently it's an old wives tale that says you need tepid water with yeast and its not that fussy about being kept warm either! Blend ingredients and knead for 6 minutes then leave to rise for an hour. knock back the dough to get rid of the air then shape into a ball. Flour and cut a deep cross in the top and bake at 220 degrees centigrade for about 30 minutes. You can tell when bread is cooked because it sounds hollow when tapped on the underside. Quick, easy, yummy and not an E number in sight.
