I made a lovely cake using instant coffee JenL, dissolved in a little hot water. I followed the Primrose Cafe Cup Cake book (?) recipe which stated 1.5 tbsp instant espresso (but I used normal instant) coffee to 2 tbsp of hot water.

I just spotted this thread and coincidentally made my first cake in the oven I inherited when I bought my flat. I made 2 of Dan Lepard's melted butter banana cakes in loaf tins and they are v light and lovely. My mum's given me her old Sunbeam Mixmaster. I love it! |

Made a nice ginger and golden syrup loaf yesterday that was gobbled up quickly at work. Planning a nutty toffee cake at the weekend.... Working my way through Rachel Allen's 'Cake' book. No complaints so far! |

Good news JenL. Glad it was a success. What better than a slice of coffee cake I ask myself.

Thanks to everyone on this thread, especially the bread makers among you. I have been inspired by your posts and recommendations for the Panasonic bread maker and have just ordered a Panasonic SD-2501 from Tesco Direct. Got what I think is a a good price (£121.47) using a £5 discount voucher and my wife's 10% employee discount. Can't wait to pick it up and getting started!
