I baked today!
I actually found a recipe on allrecipe.com but of course I ended up altering it so much that it's pointless providing a link to it. Additionally there was no mixer, spatula, measuring cups or spoons and I couldn't find any vanilla essence in the shops.
I think in the end this is what went in:
handful of chopped over ripened strawberries
3/4 cup of sugar
half cup of sultanas
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup lemon juice ( I love adding lots of lemon juice!)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup salted butter
3 eggs
3 cups self raising flour
Some of the ingredients + me
I'm waiting for someone to try it and let me know but I believe it tastes marvelous even if I do say so myself. It's moist and very zesty and tangy. I surprise myself sometimes! It was that good I had two slices after dinner.

Can you spot what gives it away that my housemates are Portuguese? (Jee I sure hope they don't mind me taking pics of the kitchen and putting it up for the world to see!)

I miss cooking for other people! Now if only I could instantly send a slice...
