Curse and Damn!

The Aga is supposed to be the bees knees. Should be too for what they cost. £5k ?

Sadly it's not an Aga, but an Esse which is Aga style. Imagine they would cost a fortune, this was £2K about 11 years ago (came with the house).

You can still buy Rayburns as well.

Maybe I've just not got the hang of it yet.

Cake was actually really nice though

Just remember, if a cake does that sort of thing, but is otherwise perfectly edible, and you want to save face, don't say you made a cake. Make up some poncy name. Say it's a Patagonian souffle or something, and you're sworn to secrecy over the recipe...

You need an Aga cake baker.

If you haven't got one of these you need to bake the cake on the normal rack on the floor of the top oven for about 20 minutes, with the plain cold shelf slid onto the second set of runners down. This will create the correct conditions for baking a cake nice and evenly.

The great thing about Agas is their intense dry heat unlike the steamy wet heat you get in a standard gas oven, which inhibits the formnation of the sponge.

We got our 2 oven gas Aga for £1500 off Ebay, in almost new condition.

...electric fan oven?

During my teaching days I baked many a cake during low ability 'science' classes. We used gas ovens and they worked OK.

Used to have one of those in my flat - it was great

Simon - gas ovens are also good, but gas Agas work very differently.

I might try Rigid Raider's suggestion, but have no idea what a cold shelf is?

Cake has all gone now

£75 for an Aga cake baker

It's not a cooker, baggy, it's a way of life

Incidentally, "Curse and Damn"? Are you secretly Stewie Griffin?
