Oven too hot. Lower the temp.

You can tell the British recipes when they ask for funny ingredients (castor suger? treacle?)


for treacle, use molasses, for caster sugar, use superfine, or whirl table sugar in the blender for a while. It's just sugar that has smaller granules so it dissolves better. used mainly in things like cocktails and ices, where you want rapid and complete dissolution and table sugar would result in a grainy texture.

OMG, israeli cups aren't the same as US cups?????!!!
If my 1 cup says it is 240ml, what nationality is my cup?
And how do I know if following a recipe sb posts here is israeli or US cups?


who knew about that ... what other nationalities are cups ... can I get an australian one with an accent Wink

for really - aren't we measuring according to the difference anyways ... a cup is a cup and 1/4 cup is a 1/4 cup ... I would think it all pans out in the end ...

that's a pretty penny ... and not everybody likes edges ... so unless you're an edgy family I wouldn't invest ...

personally I find that when I use aluminum pans the cakes always sink in the middle (and you dont wanna bake it more because then the outer cake will get too overdone). when I use non-disposable pans(like bakers secret) it bakes more evenly.
