I discovered your blog some...Hello Caked Crusader,<br /><br />I discovered your blog some months ago, and I am now going with great joy through all your delicious posts. I noticed that in this one you ask yourself a question : when do you start calling almond sponge frangipane? <br />If you had not found the answer yet, I hope you won't mind me giving you the information, because I think you might find it interesting. Frangipane is not the same thing as almond sponge: it is in fact a <i>crème d'amande</i> where a measure of <i>crème pâtissière</i> has been added.Froggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-80343994889140109062011-03-04T15:19:08.768+00:002011-03-04T15:19:08.768+00:00This looks amazing!

In this one I used 3/4 the amount of oil I would have used if it were butter.<br />The sponge was very moist, nice and slightly dense and still crumbly coconut! Very nice indeed, although I am going to keep trying different ratios of oil and see how low I can go with the oil without ruining it!<br /><br />This afternoon I'm going to try your caramel cake (for a dinner party tomorrow) with, wait for it, BUTTER!!! Yes, it's going to be all out creamy buttery calorific yummyness. Hopefully!<br /><br />Yes happy joyful baking indeed.<br /><br />Have a lovely day me dear.<br /><br />Roze!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-19827059793881569402011-02-24T02:34:41.535+00:002011-02-24T02:34:41.535+00:00What a fabulous tart - just the kind of thing I li...What a fabulous tart - just the kind of thing I like to eat.Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-27572799875785714732011-02-23T18:52:59.103+00:002011-02-23T18:52:59.103+00:00This tart sounds just perfect!

I'm not sure if the quantities are like for like. Maybe one of my lovely readers can help?<br /><br />Happy bakingThe Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-30338168159523095802011-02-23T07:37:34.806+00:002011-02-23T07:37:34.806+00:00Hey CC,

I...Hey CC,<br /><br />I just found your blog and LOVE it!!<br />I'm in the process of trawling back through your posts to see what delumpscious goodies you have made before I knew this blog existed.<br /><br />I really like the way your blog works, the pictures and explanations, then the recipe. It really is a delight to read.<br /><br />A question for you please- excuse me if this sounds 'thick' but what is a loose bottomed tart pan? Is it where the bottom lifts out? <br />I have one of those.<br />But if i were to use one of my other ones, where the bottom is fixed, how do you get your tarts/quiches etc out?<br /><br />Also, (sorry another question) can I substitute butter for oil in a victoria sandwich cake? Or would this ruin the flavour and texture?<br />If I can, what would the ratio be please?<br /><br />Keep up the amazing baking! I'm hoping to try out many of your recipes and subject my family to my cooking.<br />I shall try and do you justice!<br /><br />Have a lovely day!<br />Roze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-31063587967423726992011-02-22T23:32:42.430+00:002011-02-22T23:32:42.430+00:00Lovely blog.

Well done on the beautifully lined tin.<br /><br />Regarding cake flour- I've seen flour labeled as 'extra fine sponge flour' in sainsburys taste the difference range and McDougalls also do a sponge flour.
