TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

When I was a kid (read 11-15 years old) I used to bake cookies, cakes, cupcakes, muffins, etc all the time and was actually pretty good at it.  Fast forward a few years...and...I lost it.  The last time I attempted to bake a "proper" cake it exploded in the oven (I have no clue how, please don't ask).

This past weekend, I decided to try a recipe a friend gave me.  He said it was "foolproof" and it turned out beautifully! (Much to my surprise)

So here is "Sponge Cake in 3 Steps"

Step one:  Sift 4 oz. self-raising flour and 1 tsp baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Step two:  Throw in 4 oz. soft butter (or margarine) at room temperature, 4 oz caster sugar, 2 large eggs, 2-3  drops pure vanilla essence and mix well until soft and gloopy.

Step three: Empty into a lightly-greased 20 cm (8 inch) round cake tin and put in a 325 F oven for about 30 minutes.  Remove from tin and let cool on a wire rack.

Does anyone else have any really simple "never fail" cake recipes?   
Remember, there are no stupid questions - but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots...

I do, I do :)
so you mix 4 eggs with 1 1/2 cups of sugar (one cup = 200gr. or 7 oz), one cup of yogurt (sour cream could work as well) and you put one teaspoon with baking soda in the yogurt, stir good and it goes to the eggs and sugar, all that should be stirred for a minute (until it looks good :D) then you put 2 1/2 cup of flour (normal, white), stir, add 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, stir, and at the add some vanilla powder :) the mixtures should be homogeneous, put it in your cake form and bake for.. 180C in the oven.. that should be 355F I guess.. for about 45-50 min :) I really can't cook, and almost every recipe I try is a failure, but this one just works :D you can also split the mixture in two, and put some cocoa in one of the halves, so you'll have a black and white cake :)

Hope I've helped :)
Shame on you for thinking you're an exception.

Since moving to Turkey the biggest issue I've found with baking is the odd measurements. "One water glass of flour", "One tea glass of milk" etc.
