Simple cake for FridayHi
Our SCITT student has started up a Bake day each Friday where a member of staff has to bake something and bring it in - I'm rubbish at cooking so what is easy to make, doesn;t need too many ingredients?
Thanks

Does it have to be a cake or are biscuits okay?
These are easy.
Gingernuts
100g butter melted
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 c sugar
2 tsp ginger
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
200g flour
mix all ingredients together. Roll in to small balls. Place on ungreased trays with room for spreading.
Bake 180 oC 10 mins till golden brown.

Cookies
Yields approx 17.
300g plain (all-purpose) flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 teaspoon fine salt
170g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
215g light brown sugar
120g granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
300g milk chocolate chips
Variation: Use dark brown sugar and plain chocolate chips for a more adult flavour.
1. Sift together flour, bicaronate of soda and salt. Set aside.
2. Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla. Add egg, then the yolk. Beat well to ensure that egg is evenly distributed. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips until incorporated. It will look as if there are too many chocolate chips but the dough will be able to hold them all. Cover with clingfilm and chill dough until firm. At least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas Mark 5.
4. Drop 1/4 cup sized “hockey puck shaped” mounds of dough onto a greased baking sheet.
5. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or only until the edges begin to turn golden. (They’ll look and feel underdone but they’re ready.) Cool on the sheet for 1 minute and remove with a wide spatula to a cooling rack. Cool thoroughly and enjoy!
ahhhhh drooling already!

Oooh...I think it should be baked, not bought if you're gonna have a cake day! The tesco finest ones are nowhere near as good as homemade (well, good homemade) ones!!!

Admittedly they're not as good as homemade, when our TAs who work part-time do cakes they tend to do home-made, but for the rest of us cooking enough cakes to feed at least 40 people is a bit of a chore on a Thursday night!
