is it a fan oven? they're impossible for cakes. mine used to be burnt offerings, so i no longer use it. cooking with electricity is shite, anyway.
No, just a normal one. Also, it's a gas cooker -- a shite one at that.
I was hoping to make you scarf down my cake faster than you can say "Top Banana!" But alas, this oven sucks.
EDIT: SomeRandomGuy couldn't come up with any insults today. Shame.
I'v got a friend who's got a funky fucked up gas stove/oven. It took her awhile to figure out it's quirks. Thats the secret of cooking, trust your eyes, taste, judgement and smell.............not the stove.
i would agree, generally. but it's a bit difficult to judge without opening the oven door and thereby fucking the cake rising. i've been told i'm a "natural" cook, which means i can make things up as i go along, but even i can't get baking completely right with my stupid oven, and i've used dozens over the years, from catering for over 100 people on two open fires and an earth oven (don't even ask), to wedding buffets with all-singing, all-dancing kitchens.
