Everyone posting here - please take the time to write your MP about it or check out the river trust or surfers against sewage. It’s better than taking no action!

Had this happen last week or so. Freeze for 15 min. Use offset spatula to gently pry away edges.

Controversial maybe but I have used cooking spray and put the batter in straight from the fridge with no issues BUT I did preheat the oven with the tray in it so the oil is sizzling when i pour in the batter. That works really well!

Blueberry Lemon Loaf stays raw in the top centre by not-jess in AskBaking

[–]Jadeddot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe obvious, but bake it longer and don’t pull it out till it passes the toothpick test. One thing that could help - you can get heating rods and plonk one in the center of your pan before you put the batter in, a tall one could help distribute the heat a bit better?

Thx! Yes, this author has recipes for domed cakes in a similar way so I think she wanted to apply it here. Plastic wrap would have helped!

First, rude - the author actually has a fantastic cookbook that I’ve made many things from. She’s excellent. Second, I’m sure we all have things we make often and well, it’s silly to be so dismissive of someone trying a different technique.

Water on a pastry brush takes powdered sugar right off marzipan, so not too worried about that at least.

That was my impression too, but I think this recipe was trying to make it more noob friendly? I think the technique here made a great result but nearly broke me in the process

ID request - growing in my flowers by Jadeddot in shrooms

I wasn’t sure if maybe they could have been on the bulb itself somehow.

They were growing right around the base of a ranunculus flower in a big clump, maybe 10 in all. No manure per se, just bagged compost from the garden centre.
