LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE!!

To be honest when it comes to baking I'm not very good but I still love it either way. Although I've had a disastrous situation where I've made a dripping cake because of adding too much baking powder, this cake recipe, I've got to say is amazing. Its from the one and only Tanya Burr. Just a little bit of advise don't get mixed up with tsp and tbsp. I know it's a really silly mistake but people like me  tend to make this mistake. This left me with a dripping cake in the oven, as well as ruining the cake I had to clean out the whole oven which I can say was not pleasant. 

So here's Tanya Burr's recipe: Here's the link if you want to watch it:


You will need:


 170g Self Raising Flour
110g Icing Sugar
170g Caster Sugar 
1 tsp Baking Powder
 170g Butter
 2 lemons 
3 eggs


Method:


All you have to do is mix together the caster sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder and flour. Also add the zest of both the lemons. Then put put it into the oven for about 30-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Mine took around 45 mins to cook but this will depend on the size of your cake. Once you think its cooked take it out pierce a knife through the middle and if it comes out clean its cooked. To make the drizzle just mix together the icing sugar and juice of both the lemons. Make lots of holes in the cake while its still hot then pour the drizzle onto it. You can also sieve some icing sugar onto the cake.This is what I ended up with. Tanya Burr's baking recipes are literally the best!!

Down Memory Lane

Hey guys, so today I thought I'd go down memory lane and just recall some of the best shows from my childhood. It's not like I'm that old now, I'm only 18. Anyways let's start, when I was in year 7, I remember watching these shows every Friday after school. I would finish at 1:30 and my friend and I would just sit there watching these shows one after the other. Some of these include Lizzie Mcguire and That's so Raven. They were literally my life I loved them soo much. I could sit there for hours and hours watching different episodes. Then came along shows like Zack an Cody, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana plus many more. These were the best shows ever in my opinion and they were actually my life. I still remember getting upset when they ended. But I don't understand how we can form a bond with a TV show. Anyways, can I say these shows were amazing and Disney channel don't even have shows like these anymore.  That's it for this week...

EXAMS!!

Okay, so exams are getting closer and day by day I'm getting more and more stressed. There are literally only two months left till my exams start and I think I'm starting to go crazy. Time is going by soo fast and it frustrates me. The exams I'm sitting are some of the most important exams I will ever sit and can I say they are flipping hard. The jump between GCSE's and A-levels is massive and if you don't study you will fail. Trust me I'm speaking from experience and because of the lack of motivation I had I am now retaking some of my As exams. It's not really a great situation to be in as you have the stress from A2 exams as well as As and it's not a nice feeling. On top of that universities want a specific grade and if thats not achieved I actually don't know what I'm going to do. So if you're someone who's taking their GCSE'S or doing some other sort of exam please study hard. Before you know it your exams will be round the c...
