@peter_bakes: I made this plum and chocolate cake whilst staying at a friend’s this week and it’s always interesting baking in an unfamiliar kitchen. I used my chocolate cake recipe from my book, “Peter’s Baking Party” and decided to throw in some plums for a simple Plum Chocolate cake to eat for pudding with ice cream. But things quickly went wrong! I couldn’t find the whisk (my fault!) so used a fork to mix the batter😆 Then the cake was in the oven and the outside of the cake baked almost immediately, but the way I arranged the plums meant about double the depth of batter was held in the centre of the tin so it was taking forever to bake. Eventually I decided to take the cake out of the oven, I transferred it to a plate still on the baking paper and microwaved it for about 1minute to cook the inside without the edges drying out. To my surprise it worked a treat and we had a very tasty pudding last night! I don’t think being a good baker is about doing it perfectly each time, but learning how to adjust and adapt to get a tasty result even when things haven’t gone quite as you expected! Hope you’re having a great week and enjoy bakes and cakes wherever you are! #homebaker #bakingfail #chocolatecake #gbbo #baker
