Bakings

I shouldn't make cakes because I'm the only one who eats them. It is inevitable that I will eat every one of these delicious banana flapjacks and this entire carrot cake.

Despite being nominated as a good fat for cake-baking all over the internet, I'm afraid rapeseed oil does not work. Butter really is the one and only. Oil is just about doable if you have enough sugar. It's too flavoury otherwise. It's alright in spicy/fruity cakes, but the sugar-free sponge (failcake) I made a couple of months ago with honey and rapeseed oil was just WRONG. I think next time I'll try the sugar-free thing again, but with butter this time. I need to try sugar-free flapjacks too. Damnit, I WILL find a healthy sweet food!

Aaand Anna's just walked in the door with American chocolate for me - Reese's cups and a Butterfinger. Damnit. My teeth are screwed.

Oooh yeah I have to try sunflower oil next actually. I bet that doesn't taste too weird. I'm scared of sweetener! I find they have odd aftertastes. :( I might try some sweetening with fruit juice as well at some point, figured that would be healthier than sugar.

It would be better if I could just get over my sweet addiction, haha!
