Hello Jayne and everyone else

I am also English speaking and mainly use google translate to read this wonderful website.
Everyone is really so helpful...
Jayne, I completely understand what you are going through in terms of baking cakes - I too find it a great struggle - I am still experimenting with several recipes. Where are you from? I am from South Africa and we have wonderful cakeflour there... I checked online for a substitute and found a fairly good option on www.recipezaar.com. (for 2 cups cakeflour , mix and sift together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1and 3/4 cups patent tarwe bloem) i have tried it and it definitely makes a difference to the cakes.

Good luck
Myra

LOL....ive added the recipe to the recipe area....see if you prefer that one...
Mike has just tried the biscuit one i made this morning and he says its fine...so...maybe ive cracked it...lol...ive just counted all my empty egg boxes...in 2 days ive used 72 eggs...OMG

Edit
Mike has now tasted both cakes...Victoria Sponge which i made with cakemeel and the biscuit....he says the biscuit is "chewy" the nearest word i can find is "taai" but...lol...oh heck...hope you know what i am trying to say..
And the Victoria sponge he says is spot on....like, nice...

throw in some pictures if it failes again
than it's easier for us to see what's going wrong.

it tastes ok cos i put lemon in it, but the texture, to me is odd...lol...like spongy...not light as my usual cakes.
don't forget that it's is dutch cake... we dutch are odd, so our food is also. this type of cake is typically dutch, so it's not so strange it tastes and smells odd to you

and eygelshoven, that's a very long way away from here

That is soooo funny.....
I ordered some biscuit mix yesterday and its arrived so will try that and see if it tastes like the made one...then i will have some clue...lol

Our sponge is light and fluffy.. cake is heavier but can be fluffy.. LOl are you following me?

Re: Translation needed pleaseeeeee

2010-04-23T09:48:05Z

LOL...this is where we differ....we make sponge cakes...so i dont know what the difference is between your sponge and cake.
We have sponge and madeira...madeira is heavier than sponge and denser

Ok...my final cake (8th) in 24hrs is in the oven, ive followed the how to and it looks just like the pictures and baking away...lol...
But........this morning i had a look at one i made yesterday and it is totally inedible...i could never use this for decoration and give it to someone...the inside is like rubber....so if this one doesnt work thats baking now i am giving up and keep importing my own flour.
