. Kathy advises that if you do use a larger tin than that specified you need to reduce the baking time accordingly. It would be a thinner cake and potentially dry out if you over-bake. When it comes to cooking time, use your senses: the cake should have that lovely smell of baked goods — if it smells cooked it probably is. The colour should be golden or brown and ideally the same all over. The texture should be the same all over. Slight shrinking away from the sides of the tin can be another good indication the cake is cooked.

are great for sliders or as is with coleslaw.

Back to that summer produce, if you have been disappointed when purple beans turn green when cooked,
that might help them hold their colour. Are you
growing your own broccoli sprouts
yet? We are, and you will be too after reading about their very favourable effects on health.
