I will advise you to go for ISPON's courses most especially if you will like to pursue a career in safety. As a safety practitioner, you are expected to be member of ISPON.

Those Ispon's courses are a prerequisite for their membership. Which means even if you don't do them now, whenever you are considering being a member of the Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria (ISPON), you'll still have to do them.

From your undergraduate background, u can simply register for General health safety and environment then proceed to HSE3 competence level certificate. Its not compulsory u do it with Ispon but its advisable. Since its mostly recognized allover d country. Cheers

devonpaul:
U don't need any material for HSE1 and 3 and moreover I doubt if there are any soft copies available. Register for Hse1 with Nisp, u will be given textbooks during training. There's no exam involve in HSE 1-3, pass or fail u will get ur certificates. Its a sitter, after those, u can now brace up for d real deal .Nebosh courses. Goodluck

@nifdem,
If I was to choose btw the Kenwood recipe and the one I tried yday, I will pick the Kenwood as the cake turned out really great even after day two.

Just follow the instruction.

Let us know how it turns out
Thanks in advance

Hi nifdem, here is a link to a sponge cake recipe, its in grams and hopefully this will turn out nice.

Here is a link to one of my favourite cakes, though I just confess I don't like chocolate cake, however this recipe is really lovely and the cake very moist. Instead of expresso coffee just use normal coffee.

She has several other recipes but I haven't tried them yet.
I have added a screenshot of the recipe.

Also,where it says a cup of boiling water, please make sure it is a cup of boiling water.

You can make the cake using just a bowl and a laddle instead of a mixer because I have always used a bowl without any problem.

Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), cocoa powder and coffee

In another bowl, mix your vanilla, eggs, milk and vegetable oil.

Ps: Ive read somewhere that if using powdered milk, mix 2 tablespoon of milk with a cup of water (I haven't tried this, but I do have another information on how to use powdered milk, only, I'd have to search for it).

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well, at this stage the mix will be somewhat hard in consistency, add your boiling water and mix, this will make your mixture thin, don't worry, nothing is wrong with your mix.

Bake using an 8 inch or 9 inch pan, btw 50-60mins, oven temperature 140-160.
I hardly use 180, if you want a moist cake, bake on low heat for a little longer.

Ps: Turn oven to 140 before you start mixing.
If using two pans like the woman suggested, then baking time would be about 30-45mins

Nifdem, urs will come in grams, just wanted to drop something in the meantime

mooretes:
@nifdem sorry will send to u in grams

mooretes:
@ raayah,
Cakes are made depending on the type requested and the type of recipe the cake calls for.

I suppose like you, most Nigerians prefer the harder/dense cakes (your Nigerian one) to very soft/melt in your mouth cakes (those you referred to as been made overseas), tbh, I am unsure why this preference because there are loads of good cakes out there to try.

For me, when a cake is too hard, you would need to drink loads which takes away from the taste of your cake.
One exception though is the mud cake which is mostly associated with wedding cakes in Australia. This cake is so rich, moist and "chocolatey" that you only need a little bite otherwise, you are writing letter to heart attack.

olufeyi:
@ nifdem ..... this is a very common problem and the bad news is most times its unavoidable but the good news is it is controllable.
pls include a primer in your day to day make up routine....
And also get blotting paper .....
the primer will help you control your facial oil coming to the surface for hours....... but after about 6 hours if it shows up use
the blotting paper to dap this will make ur face look as good as new without more powder application. ...... I hope ive been of help

purplelips:
To make buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of full fat milk and let it stand for 10 minutes.

cynhamscakes:
Hi Purple, kudos to you. Your fondant is really neat for a first timer. The first fondant covered cake i did was like a a sacrificial cake to the gods. ...lol. that was then sha.

I saw your recipe. Your sugar though its the appropriate measurement but you can try reducing it to 400g, then replace the 1 cup of water/milk with same quantity buttermilk.

purplelips:
The eggs are whisked and then added the to already creamed butter and sugar mix. The water (or milk preferably if you plan on keeping the cake in the fridge or using preservatives) is added alternately with the flour...

purplelips:
500g butter/margarine
500g sugar
10 large eggs
500g flour
1tablespoon baking powder
1tbsp vanilla flavoring
1 cup water/milk (I don't use milk all the time though, it makes my cakes go stale quickly)

Children have blessed innocent skin. Unless there's a medical condition with a child's skin, don't try to tamper with it. Invest instead in good healthy nutrition for ur child n their skin will glow. Weather u use Johnson Johnson or plain palm kernel oil it won't matter. If you are confused just use olive oil and feed them right.
