My plan is to make one cake every day, for as long as possible. I'm not sure how long this will last, but I will try and post the recipes of the cakes I make, and the reviews my flatmates give the cakes. It should be fun, and butterful.

Cake 12, Hotcakes!

Hotcakes are cakes, right? 

Hotcakes (my own recipe, but probs doesn't differ from any other pan/hot cake recipe)

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup wholemeal flour (I wanted to use buckwheat, but couldn't find any in the pantry)
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tb sugar
pinch of salt
1 egg
about 1 cup milk

Sift together flours and baking powder. Stir in sugar and salt. Make a well, and put egg and 1/2 amount of milk in. Mix, adding milk until desired consistency is reached. 
Fry in butter :)

I also made some poachy/sugary pears:

4 pears
3 Tb sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon

Peel pears, and cut into quarters. Mix sugar and water together and pour into a frying pan (the same one used for the hotcakes). Add the pears and sprinkle over the cinnamon. You may need to add more water as it evaporates, you want the pears half-submerged in liquid. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning over half-way through. They should become soft enough to slice with a spoon. Remove pears from pan, and continue cooking the sugary water until it thickens, then pour over pears and hotcakes.
