Had another baking day today, so grabbed the Hummingbird cookbook and got to work. First of all the savoury - I'm not a fan of savoury cakes, but my husband is willing to try (nearly) anything. The first batch was a cheese, sweetcorn and chilli muffin.
They were made according to the recipe - verdict from Bart? They need a little something extra, maybe salt. The recipe only asks for 1/8th of a teaspoon, so next time I will try a little more and see if it helps.
Next was the sweet. Here I chose the red velvet cupcakes - what seems to be Hummingbirds signature cupcake. It was the first time I had used soda bicarb and vinegar as the raising agent, but they came out very well if I do say so myself!
Verdict? The recipe makes too much frosting, and the frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, so will attempt to reduce this next time. The cake itself is lovely and light - and very very red.
