    What kind of oven is it? gas, gas fan, electric or electric fan? You know if it is a fan oven as there will be a circular pattern on the back wall with holes in. I say this as if you don't hear or feel the blow of the fan, it could have stopped working, which could blow the heating element.

    Our current oven is 10 year old and I have had to replace the heating element 2/3 times now as i do a lot of traditional cooking and preserving.

    Don't forget that fan ovens need to be about 15 – 20 degrees lower than conventional ovens, depending on the energy source. If they don't state fan, reduce the temps if you have a fan oven as it will burn and uncooked in the middle!

    You need a merch apron!

    Looking forward to seeing the new kitchen as that one is def for shorter people. I am 5'6 and those cupboards look too low and small.

    I was 32 weeks pregnant when we moved into a house in need of love and reno. After, electric, gas and water was sorted on the first week, I was tiling the new kitchen i designed and we built when i was 39 weeks pregnant.

    P.s. Go for decaf coffee in the cake, especially if sharing with kids, pregnant people or the elderly. As a once 6 cups a day coffee drinker, it makes a difference. It is just there for the flavour, just like ethanol needs to be cooked out of alcohol. The Beatty's reference instant coffee, which is also weaker than fresh coffee. It also has less allergy problems to it compared to freshly roasted beans.

    P.P.S. Food network is owned by WB, a US company. US measurements are different to UK Imperial measurements and old UK cups, oz and lbs. To quote a phrase, "i would just take the measurements, with a pinch of salt!" I like how they use Beatty's and not Betty's. Just like how they use the word "cheddar" in the US, when it is only exclusive in, guess what, a place called Cheddar in the UK. #noshame

    My auntie taught me that buttercream recipe 40 years ago. We didn't put coffee in it. It was lovely and chocolatey.

    Chocolate cakes using buttermilk and hot water are so luscious. With that buttercream, extra.

    Refrigerated cakes taste amazing after 24 hours. Fresh cake is delicious too, but something happens during those first 24 hours that makes it sublime.

    Excellent video. Beautiful cake.

    Hey! So I've been making this for a decade. The Hershey's Cocoa Frosting recipe (with any cocoa you have) is actually better on the cake than her frosting. You'll need to add a bit more milk than the recipe calls for.

    Glid absolutely is a word, keep using it!! It's more common in some dialects than others where, because it's a less commonly-used word, the past tense version was forgotten and replaced. So you could say that 'glid' is actually the more correct word. (I remember hearing this discussed recently, I want to say it was on countdown but I can't be sure! 😊)

    Great video, the cake looked so good. You should try the coconut cake. My mum used to make it for me on my birthdays. I’m not the biggest coconut fan either but the cake is amazing

    Oh no…I have only just started watching and am horrified to see you are using Tesco's own flour. Some years ago I couldn't understand why my cakes were not working out properly and then realised it was because I was using a bag of a supermarket own label (I can remember which one, but not knocking them). I am lucky enough to live near a flour mill and can buy the flour direct and it makes wonderful cakes. I really really can tell the difference and yes, I am the sort of person who not only doesn't sieve her flour into the bowl, but I never weight my ingredients either. Using proper flour, I am known for my cake making.

    It’s “I” nah. I tried this cake years ago and thought it was a little too much coffee too. I just took out some of the coffee. Also the coconut cake is to die for. Delicious.

    Is this "Beatty's Chocolate Cake"? I literally only make this forbade chocolate cakes in my life and it's almost foolproof. Even my husband (who is very competent, but not one to bake) made a lovely one for my birthday a few years ago!

    reads video description 🙂
