Lockdown baking - what have you made?

I cant bake well. I was craving cake so made one, it was so thin it was basically a biscuit and STILL wasnt cooked through. Unbelievable. I think it's my crappy oven, my husband moans constantly about it. I have made trifles, and cupcakes with the kids, and now have some ingredients to make a cheesecake (wanted a caramac one but cant find any caramac). I'm 33 weeks pregnant so calories dont count 😜😜😂😂
I moved into a house with a crappy oven, so much food got ruined I gave up baking. I got a new one last year has made such a difference and I’m enjoying baking again.

He did say to order a new cooker, but we can only have electric as we didnt have gas when we moved it so no gas point for a cooker.

I have a gas hob and an electric oven, I haven’t had a gas oven in 40 years, I wouldn’t know how to use one! 😂
 
L'Escargot give out some recipes. I made their Tart au Citron and it was delicious.

That sounds wonderful! I’d love to be able to work with pastry but it’s a skill I don’t have 😢

Oh that sounds delicious, I love a cheesecake.
 
Dairy Milk caramel cookies, normal chocolate chip cookies, lemon cake, loaf of white bread and a loaf of sun dried tomato bread which was by far the best 😍

I’m tempted to do brownies next.
I’ve been baking for many years but I’ve never been able to do cookies/biscuits they always turn out too soft. Anyone got a decent recipe for a nice chewy cookie?

I made an apple crumble yesterday, first time I’d tried one and it turned out lovely. Think it might be brownies next after all the recipes shared here I fancy them.
