Hi, years ago I belonged to a recipe website run by trade me people through the recipe thread, got a new computer and have lost the link, can anyone tell me what it is please! Thanks

jenna68, the Trademe Cooks website has closed.

Edited to add - Tracey, welcome back - from time to time I have wondered about the familiar names of the past, yours included - I remembered you particularly because our daughter is also Tracey.:-))

Crap, what a shame, don't suppose you have a recipe for a WHIZ CARROT CAKE lol, worth a crack, I got one off there and have lost it - you chuck your carrots in and all, it's great! :)

jenna68, Sep 25, 6:08am

245sam, may I have your caramel crumble recipe please! The mere sound of it sounds devine!

245sam, Sep 26, 8:27am
You sure can nessie26.Here it is.
CARAMEL CRUMBLE
This slice is very like Tan Slice but just stirred together with no creaming of the butter and sugar. As its name suggests its topping is more crumbly but personally I like it better - to make and to eat!

Caramel Topping:
½ x 395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp golden syrup
¼ cup brown sugar
55g (2oz) butter

Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl over hot water for 5 minutes, then allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Base:
1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
115g (½ cup) sugar
½ tsp vanilla essence
115g (4oz) melted butter

Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the vanilla essence and the melted butter and mix to a fairly soft crumbly consistency. Press approximately two thirds-three quarters of this crumbly mixture into a greased sponge roll tin, then spread the caramel topping over. Sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture.
Bake at 180ºC for 20-30 minutes.
Allow to cool then cut into fingers or squares. :-))
