I made my first cake of 2017 yesterday. A spiced apple cake, because I'd somehow got the idea into my head that I wanted to bake a spiced apple cake, and it was therefore logical.... It turned out very tasty, although not quite cooked. I blame both the vagaries of my *extremely* vague kitchen scale and the impossibility of telling what temperature the oven is actually at. (At least, I suppose I could buy a thermometer, but I'm not going to.) Baking needs a bit more precision than this. However, it is a tasty spiced apple baked good, and we've nearly finished it.

I've never been all that excited by painted people—it seems to be a minor Thing in fanfic, and it's okay; until I checked Lance's Instagram I didn't really get it, but, uh....

Mmm.

Hurray for inaugural cake of 2017! (today I made chilli and corn bread, with "Lance's" cornbread recipe...)

I had a oven once that was extremely temperamental in that its inaccuracies were very inconsistent. I ended up breaking down an buying an over thermometer, because everything was either undercooked or overcooked. :|

Oooh, yum! An unreliable oven is SUCH a pita - if you're looking for a different option, I have a £30 tabletop halogen (from Asda) that I SWEAR by. Consistently hotter than a real oven, but absolutely consistent

Sounds yummy, except for the undercooked part. Ahahaha.

That cake sounds delicious. But boo for unreliable scales and ovens! They're both such vital ingredients for successful baking.
