LARGE QUANTITIES OF BAKING SODA RECIPES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven. Rub some oil around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner. Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda, Vitamin C if used, sugar and salt into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve into a mixing bowl. Measure the boiling water into a jug and add the cold water. Add the yogurt and lemon juice, if used, and stir to combine. Pour this into the mixing bowl and stir everything together to make a soft, sticky dough. Drizzle the oil over the sticky dough and using a spatula, turn the mixture a couple of times in the bowl to encourage the formation of a doughy mass. Tip the dough into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Brush some oil over a piece of tin foil. With the oiled side down, cover the tin creating a dome so the bread can rise during cooking. Bake for 55 minutes. Carefully remove the tin foil and bake for a further 10 minutes. Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack. The bottom should sound hollow when tapped. Cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven. Rub some of the butter around the inside of a 1kg/2lb loaf tin or insert a baking liner. Chop the butter into small cubes. Put the butter cubes and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until pale and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Break the eggs into the bowl, one a time, beating well between each. Add half the flour to the bowl and beat well. Mash the bananas, add these to the bowl and beat again. Add the remaining flour to the bowl and mix it in. Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 55–60 minutes. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 20 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool.
