Hi Nicola! Quite new to your recipes but having tried a few you are fast becoming a firm fave, your book is on order! Looking at this recipe I have a question: for eggs you have given '130g', sorry if this is a silly question, but is this in their shell or once they've been 'deshelled'?

YES! Im sorry for some of the awkward egg quantities, but usually these are in recipes where you can use the leftover for egg wash. Which one is this?

No problem! I actually like this way of showing how much egg, just want to know I'm doing it right! This is for the Party Cake, KP #100

Chocolate cake is hands down my favourite cake. Thank you for posting two wonderful-looking cakes and congratulations for the 100th edition! Will definitely have to bake both. I noticed in this sponge recipe, salt is not included. I've noticed some recipes don't call for salt, while American recipes call for the inclusion of salt while recipes in the UK don't always include salt. I would be interested to know when and how salt plays a role, especially in sponges. Looking forward to more recipes and stories.

Omg, that “cake” your mother made for you. And I thought I was a good mom. It’s no wonder you bake cakes. And I know you are tired of this question, I have a daughter who is gluten intolerant, can I make the chocolate cake with gf flour?

Hi Nicola! The chocolate buttercream didn't hold so well for me at room temp - it started out great but then hardened and dulled so was difficult to spread. Do you think I didn't beat enough, or something to do with high cocoa percentage chocolate?
