Baking Challenge Week 1

52 weeks challenge for baking with 52 different recipes. I think I might just be mad but oh well, at least I'll enjoy the fruits of this challenge!

First up was a double challenge as my dad wanted to eat lemon drizzle cake and I just wanted to finish off all the chocolate chip cookies that I had bought for Christmas. This was the end results. Looks quite good right?

For the lemon drizzle cake, I followed this recipe The best lemon drizzle cake. EVER and was I happy. The cake was really moist. My only problem was the only pan I had with me at that time was a 9inch spring form pan which proved to be too deep for the cake. My next attempt at this would be a smaller pan or double/triple the amount for the cake. 

For the chocolate chip cookie, I used this recipe Chocolate Chip Cookie and I used Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips. I decided to empty the whole packet in. Also, instead of following the 3/4 cup of butter, I just threw the whole slab of 250g of SCS Butter. Now I know why some people just loved to eat the cookie dough. 


So now, 52 recipes and 2 down, let's hope for more successes to come.
