It drives me crazy, and I was born and raised in the States! It's like...shouldn't we have evolved past the notion that anything can be properly baked without weight measurements? I convert all my baking recipes into metric until I'm sure it's correct, and then file it away in a safe! Well, not a safe maybe, but you get the gist.

Oh well, I'l just have to keep mixing up my conversions as I go... <br /><br />Foodycat - I was terrified but had buttered and floured the tin (even though it is non stick) and it just slid straight out. I saw peanut butter chips in a food shop off King's Road on Saturday but they were about £7 for a tiny bag (needless to say I didn't get any!) <br /><br />Gemma xGemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653763434441310867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936215515952213606.post-16769894438794976572009-07-26T18:40:33.816+00:002009-07-26T18:40:33.816+00:00I am so impressed that you were able to turn that ...I am so impressed that you were able to turn that out!

I recommend going onto the Nordicware site and drooling. <br /><br />Sarah - good to see you recognised the pattern. I was very impressed by how easily the cake came out of the tin. It was worth lugging the extra weight home. <br /><br />Gemma xGemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653763434441310867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936215515952213606.post-12485406070134316812009-07-21T00:24:31.922+00:002009-07-21T00:24:31.922+00:00Ooh.. the Nordicware Bavaria Bundt!
