You were drunk with that brandy and you burnt it:

You get everything wrong, don’t you, highschool dropout.

Saying “sherry” is not really sufficient: you can have thin, dry sherries and very rounded, full bodied sweeter sherries.

Unfortunately, Lady Lols, there are very many idiots on OzPol and the proportion of idiots to sensible people is rising. Gordon is a very childish person: I would not let him bully me immediately after I was elected as Mod of Critters and Gardens and he still hates me because of that. When he joined OzPol Aussie accused him of being a sock and he still hates Aussie for that.

But enjoy the heavy, strong cake tins—I have gradually replaced the old, thin tins with those.

As to recipes—there are millions of recipes out there! But here is one that looks nice:

Just fold in the well-beaten eggwhites with a large metal spoon (a serving spoon) in a gentle figure-of-eight movement.

What an interesting cake!
I had to look up how much 2 sticks of butter is.
It’s 1 cup.
8 eggs too Shocked

My mum used to make her beaut sponge cakes with 8 eggs with added dash of aniseed flavour.
I want to recreate it like hers.
Took me ages to find aniseed essence! No shops around me here had it, including Italian delicatessen.
Everyone had vanilla essence but not aniseed.
So I found it on eBay and bought it from there!

Hopefully next week I can dedicate a couple days to the kitchen:

1. marmalade

2. baking

For the baking I will likely follow the little Womens Weekly cookbooks I have a lot of—cost practically nothing from op shops.

I will share a recipe for a star anise flavored cake (with coffee cream) that is simplicity to make and maybe a Dutch appeltaart.

It is a rotten recipe. Flour especially and sugars like Muscovado volumetric measurements—cup—are useless. Dry ingredients should be specified by weight, only liquids specified by volume and liquids like treacle measured by weight.

I will convert it to metric weight units here. E.g. 1 cup of butter = 225g.

This is a pretty good site for conversion US to gram: https://www.errenskitchen.com/cooking-conversions/cups-to-grams-and-oz/

Bread is specified in percentages, e.g.

Flour 100%
Water 65%
Salt. 2%

So for a loaf using 1Kg flour you use 1Kg flour, 65% of that is 650g or ml of water and 20g of salt. If you don’t want to use salt cut your finished and cooled loaf into thirds, freeze two and use the last one, then get the next one out the freezer etc—mould will form quickly if salt is not used.

9 eggs and 250g butter. Way too rich and heavy for me. Shocked

If I'm going to use 9 eggs I'd rather a pavlova. Even then I only use half that amount of eggs.

This sponge has a rating of 4.74 out of 5 from 11,103 votes so there can't be many disgruntled with it.
