I seem to have been on the go all day today which is unlike me. We’ve invited a couple for morning tea tomorrow so there has been a bit of extra cleaning, etc, to do. I made cheese straws and you can see Vince’s baking efforts in...

Thelma The sponge cake will sink when it is underbake. I experienced that before. When I bake sponge cake I don’t open the oven unless I can see that the cake is getting off the edge of the pan and wait for 5 minutes before getting it out of the oven.
