My absolute favorite kind! I'd totally do some almost illegal things for one right now. Hahahah Yeah right. I'd totally do it!

OH - that reminds me!!! I totally forgot I was going to share the brownie recipe I use
I double the frosting and keep it in a container on the side (sometimes you just need a spoonful of frosting)
DO NOT overbake

I'm going to blame you and @ScarletDaisy for making my house smell like chocolate!

Of all the smells I've experienced visiting a house, chocolate seems right up there on the more acceptable ones.

I fully accept this
There are far worse things I've been blamed for

Soooo on another thread I was talking about pavlova.
You ladies are all much better bakers than me but I do make a decent pavlova so happy to add that to my menu

TBF, it's a Mary Berry recipe
If you have ever watched Great British Bake Off you may have head of her

I use her cookbook. It's fabulous.

Thanks to her, I was able to make a flapjack. All of the other recipes I tried fell apart into delicious crumbles.

I can't bake to save my life. The only thing I can make is tres leches pastel but thats because it doesn't really require too much baking.

I do an ok-ish job at it, but my daughter? She is both a gifted cook and baker. Well, except for red rice - poor girl will burn it 99.9% of the time. I told her last time that if she burned it again, she'd have to give up her Mexican card. LMAO

Well ok then.

Here's the recipe I used for Okonomiyaki a while back...

For the okonomiyaki sauce​

• 1½ tbsp tomato ketchup
• ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp runny honey
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce

For the okonomiyaki pancakes​

• 3 large free-range eggs
• 3 tbsp plain flour
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp dark soy sauce
• ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 large spring onions, thinly sliced
• 275g/9¾oz white cabbage, shredded
• sunflower oil

Method​

1. For the okonomiyaki sauce, whisk together the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, honey and dark soy sauce in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
2. To make the okonomiyaki batter, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil until smooth.
3. Fold the spring onions and cabbage into the batter until everything is well coated.
4. Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large frying pan over a medium–high heat until shimmering. Line a warmed plate with a couple of sheets of kitchen paper.
5. Spoon some of the cabbage mixture into the pan into pancake shapes that are about the size of your palm. Press down with the back of the spoon and fry until golden-brown on each side, flipping halfway. Transfer the pancakes to the kitchen paper to drain.
6. Fry in batches until you’ve run out of mixture – you should get about eight pancakes.
7. Serve the pancakes drizzled with the okonomiyaki sauce.
   
   
   Give it a try, its amazing.
