Account of Decadent Housewife who grew up a farm girl, hums opera, married a geek and lives in a houseful of men, none of whom ever have clean socks or underwear.
Before starting a recipe get the eggs out of the fridge and set them into a bowl of warm water. Let them warm for about half an hour while you assemble and begin the rest of the recipe. The eggs will mix easier for doing this.
Great idea! I used to ignore the part about letting the eggs reach room temperature before baking a cake, but after having so many flops in my little Japanese oven I gave it a try. My cakes still aren't as good as I have made back in the US with a big oven, but much better.

my mum always taught me this too!
Well, I always knew they should be room temperature, but I didn't know this little ditty. Thanks;)

That must be the reason I've had so many baking failure. Yes, that must be it!
