3 lurkers | 100 watchers

Little Miss Happy Jun 2020 1:41pm, 6 Jun 2020 2,675 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Oh dear, sorry to hear that Linds. I don't know if you can just sub caster for icing - there are other recipes online that use caster sugar but I've only ever made them with icing sugar. Good Housekeeping have one egg white (15g) to 150g icing sugar.

LindsD Jun 2020 2:50pm, 6 Jun 2020 37,520 posts	0 LindsD I used the flax but it didn't work. It has sunk in the middle. I did wonder about just using the two eggs I had as they were large. Not sure what went wrong. I also had no SR flour but used extra bp which I've done before, and had to top up my caster sugar with granulated but can't see that having an effect. Sure it will taste OK but am a bit pissed off with my day so far.

Little Miss Happy Jun 2020 3:23pm, 6 Jun 2020 2,679 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Taste is the important thing Linds. Take a deep breath and re-frame it as an experiment in make do cooking that has enabled you to produce a cake when many wouldn't have bothered trying.
