jtoh, yes, relatively easy to attempt the French Loaf, basically it is the same as you would do for other breads, but for my case, because I cannot bake in my breadmachine, I shaped it out and baked in my oven. 175 - 180 for about 20 to 30 mins.

Thanks! So is it like the delifrance ones?

Sorry, can't answer that as I hardly ever step into Delifrance! :oops: But it does taste like French Loaf alright.

Seems like Happy Mama and jtoh both agree with me about having a party of sorts. Shall we make it a reality then?

My butter cake made using Z machine. It certainly doesn't look as good as it smells and tastes... and definitely different from the picture in the recipe. Could it be because of the flour I used? Or the size of the eggs? Or the reduced sugar? :? and why is the colour so dark. :?

It looks fine to me. But it resembles a loaf more than a cake. Tastes good?

It tastes good, except that the crust is a little crispy. Yes, it looks more like a loaf than a cake, but then again, it was baked using the loaf pan, so how not to look like a loaf?

Sorry, Happy Mama


Was in a hurry to go out just now so didn't comment on your 'CNY' Loaf! Very nice and professionally done! :celebrate: And the butter cake looks good too. :celebrate:

Thank you! Yes, I am very satisfied with the CNY loaf, but not quite the cake. I thought it could have been better, but I just don't know where. Maybe I should try again, but this time using all purpose flour and LARGE eggs.

Yes!!!

Really? I was thinking of having one, but limited to say about 8 to 10 members in order to give us a better chance at getting to know one another better, but problem is the venue. If you can come up with a venue, I don't mind doing the co-ordination.

Okay, going to watch Channel 8. Come back later.
