This term is split into 8 lessons starting in Lesson 1, with a simple but perfect Classic Sponge Cake, Lesson 2 leads on to other sponge cakes like Coffee and Walnut Sponge Cake, Double Lemon Drizzle cake and for a bit of fun - Swiss Roll. As you progress through the term you will learn in Lesson 3, how to make little cakes which includes scones, tartlets and cup cakes.
Lesson 4 is all about Family Cakes, Delia calls them this because over the years they have proved popular with all ages, her Oatmeal Parkin is a gloriously sticky cake.
Lesson 5 has some of the easiest cakes to make - ever, Loaf Cakes. Mix in a bowl, pour into a loaf tin, shove it in the oven and wait. And that is pretty much it! Choose from an Irish Tea Cake that is jam packed with fruit, a tangy Marmalade Cake, use up bananas for a Banana and Walnut Loaf, and if you want to get a bit fancy Sticky Toffee Loaf Cake has a fudge icing.
Lesson 6 is another foolproof collection of recipes for all seasons - Muffins. Rhubarb and Orange for spring, Blueberry and Pecan for summer, Marmalade in autumn and Spiced Apple in winter.
Lesson 7 covers biscuits, from easy Semolina Shortbread to Almond Biscotti and finally Lesson 8, irresistable Chocolate Cakes including Brownies, Cup Cakes, a Chocolate Beer Cake and one of Delia's infamous recipes, Squidgy Chocolate Cake, written over 40 years ago and still going strong.
