Herman friendship cake bake day!

Chris is out tonight so the perfect time to cake Herman (feels a little odd after nurturing him all week)

This is what i am supposed to add today before i bake:

• half tsp (teaspoon) salt
  
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups plain flour
• 2/3 cup of cooking oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 cooking apples cut into chunks
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 heaped tsp cinnamon
• 2 heaped tsp baking powder

I decided to adapt the recipe as i am not a fan of cinnamon. I have ditched he apples too and instead i added fresh strawberries and chocolate chips. I used the tulip muffin cases as i suspected they would rise very high.

I was correct! They rose really high and looked amazing! I wasn't too sure about the taste when they were warm but once they cooled down they tasted lovely. Very yeasty at first but that settled once the tastebuds adjusted. They were very moist too and had a slightly doughy texture. My work colleagues gave them a resounding thumbs up!
