Baking a Delightful Family Cake with Mrs Bun the Baker Cookery School

Let's Get Started with the Soak Recipe!

So, you’ve hopefully read the soak recipe, and now it’s time to bake! Baking is such a joy, isn’t it? There’s something magical about mixing ingredients and watching them transform into something delicious.

You can scale this recipe up to make a family-sized cake, and yes, you can do the same with the soak! I usually whip up a mixture using four eggs. It’s the perfect size for gatherings or just a lovely treat at home.

Tips for Storing Your Cake

Now, if you're using fruit juice or tea in your soak, make sure to pop it in the freezer until Christmas. This little tip ensures your cake stays fresh and tasty! If you’re going for an alcohol-infused soak, wrap it in greaseproof paper, then foil, and place it in an airtight tin. This keeps all those lovely flavours locked in!

And here’s a fun fact: you can feed your cake every month! Just a splash of your chosen soak will keep it moist and flavourful.

Sweet Alternatives

If you find yourself without treacle, don’t worry! You can always add syrup instead. It works wonders and adds a lovely sweetness to your cake.

Baking Together

Baking is not just about the end product; it’s about the experience! Gather your family around, and let’s have some fun in the kitchen. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a newbie, it’s all about enjoying the process.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get those aprons on and start baking!

Remember, the joy of baking is all about sharing. So, invite your friends over, and let’s create some sweet memories together! Happy baking!
