I’m really starting to enjoy baking nowadays, and my friends and family are reaping the benefits.

I went for my trusty Bill’s cookbook and found this banana maple turnover cake. It actually turned out better than I expected. There was a moment of disaster and disappointment when I opened the oven door at the due time and it was still liquid, so we left it in for an extra 20 minutes. Phew…

It’s funny, now that we’ve been baking for a while we now know exactly what goes into cakes – a whole lot of butter and sugar. So when G came over and saw the cake, her first question was “How much butter’s in it?” Sometimes I think it’s best if I don’t answer that question.
