Baking time - Banana Cake

One thing I'd like to do more of this year is bake.

Cakes, biscuits, slices etc.

So am now sitting down to a cup of tea and a slice of banana cake, still warm from the oven. Is there anything more comforting?

This is my second attempt this week, the first was a little heavy, and I used a loaf tin when the recipe asked for a ring tin. I've also learnt that Mum always turned her cakes around half way through baking, because the oven seems to be hotter at the front than the back. And Dad has found the correct tin.

It's a lot lighter than the first one, and cooked much more evenly as I turned it after 15mins. I think the recipe is from an old CWA cookbook, the cover has gone, so it's hard to tell, but it's in metric, so not ancient :)

So that's 2 very old bananas put to a good use.
Yum!

Do cats like moving house?

Moving house is a pain. All those boxes in strange places.

Although the empty ones are quite interesting.

And empty cupboards are fascinating.

And it all goes much more smoothly with good supervision.

All settled in and ready to blog

Finally!
We have the internet organised and my wireless network up and running.
I'm loving my new Asus laptop so stay tuned for some blog updates over the next few days.
