Baking is therapy right now, so I'm baking a couple of cakes.

A 3 layer carrot cake for me, and a lemon drizzle cake as a birthday cake for a friend in isolation.

What do you fancy? The apron is on, the oven is hot, and I'm armed, with a whisk and spatula...

"Either a cheesecake or a coconut sponge cake."

I like a nice cherry cheese cake, with some liqueur to spice up the cherries a bit. Perfect with a black forest hot chocolate!

I can't wait for them to cook, they smell lovely.

Do a nice rich ganache for the top too. Fresh cream and dark chocolate flakes over the top too

Oooh yes! I've got a lovely recipe for an earl grey fruitcake somewhere, very subtle but so tasty! Wonder if anyone eats cheese with their fruitcake?

.

Sticky toffee apple cake with a sort of crumbleesque topping made with oats and cinnamon.

Or a really rich and moist devil's food cake but little to no icing because it can become sickly sweet.

If I find the energy, you'll have inspired me to bake, Op.

Ooh yes, love the idea of sticky toffee apple, I love a good crumble, rhubarb is the winner for me, sharp and tart, but tasty!

With you on the no icing on a devil's food cake, feels a bit icky when it's gone down. Much prefer sharp fruit based sweeteries!

Hope you find your way to the kitchen, Meli!

Oooh, coffee and walnut, with a decadently soft sponge and coffee cream frosting

I am terrible at cooking, but love baking and following recipes, if only I could live off cake, I'd be happy! Also really love baking for others, if I ever had to find a new career, I'd definitely bake!

I've started using almond milk lately for lattes, they're so lovely, not as sweet and works really well when you've got a rich cake on the side.....I can't wait for these cakes to be done, starving!

Another vote for drizzle here.

Lemon or lime, not fussy.

Or maybe passion fruit?

Oh, now passion fruit sounds an interesting one, not something I've used in cooking, might have to give this a try next weekend! I like lime too, love how sharp it is
