Great British Bake Off 2016

I noticed that Candice has very sunken cheeks, which makes the pout seem more pronounced than it probably is. Her Victoria sponge was rubbish (the jam was runny) and I thought, as a non-baker, that they were simple things to make. Very odd.
Still, we all watch it for one thing, surely? The grub.

They are 
Easy to say though when you have a recipe, aren't under any pressure and don't have to make your own jam.

The signature bake. Anyone notice Hollywood absolutely troughing into Jane's effort? Gutsy McGutsface, I saw at least three giant forkfuls crammed in during just one sequence. That must have been one damn fine cake.
Yup, stuffed so much in he didn't even have to (or couldn't) say anything, just a handshake.I thought that would have sealed the win for Jane.
Not difficult at all. Weigh the eggs in their shells, measure out the same weight in each of self raising flour, butter and whichever sugar you like to use. Sift the flour, crack the eggs in, add butter and sugar, all in one, mix.

Of course the problem is always the time available.
Good work!

What did your eggs weigh and how many did you use.?Easy to say though when you have a recipe, aren't under any pressure and don't have to make your own jam.
I did a cake with similar result this morning using 3 eggs but they weighed 8 and 3/8 all double yolked. I was given a tray of eggs last week and they have nearly all been double yolked but no idea what type of hens they came from.

As far as I know, double yolk eggs are mainly produced by hens that have just become 'point of lay' The first eggs they lay, normally for the first couple of weeks, will often be double yolk. Their systems aren't properly adjusted to producing a single yolk.Try and find out if your tray was from young hens, it would be interesting.
