All waiting bump... ... .

So as to give Hairchopper some breathing space... . while she moves house, and to keep this thread at the top of the m/board (and provide ourselves with some light entertainment), why not, those that are waiting for the recipe, guess one ingredient each, that would/could be in the recipe.
I'll start: MIXED SPICE.

Grated Carrot ... .

blackx, Apr 15, 6:13pm
Orange Juice. Oh and quantities too, would be interesting !

valentino, Apr 15, 6:16pm
I thought it was only for one item... . . Gives an indication on whom is waiting or watching... LOL. Think this will be interesting in what comes forth as it gets further on... Cheers.

golden syrup (maybe) or brown sugar/white sugar

blackx, Apr 15, 6:30pm
Re # 60 - Yes you'rre quite right - oops. I had wanted to put up my post about also guessing at the quantities, but I put in another ingredient too. I only realised what I had done, after posting it! ! haha
Hope you all enjoy my idea. The end result could be a brand new recipe of it's own.

brandy essence~!

valentino, Apr 15, 6:57pm
Re #63... . . One could then look at quantities later on and fine tuning it a little, personally will throw in an interesting ingredient later on if required LOL ... . by then this special one has come forth but in the meantime, a great exercise to be had by all, Cheers.

Sliced brazil nuts- Under Red Veranda's very secret recipe carrot cake to die for has that as an ingredient.

I think this thread is starting to come close ... to the infamous Whakatane Intermediate Slice in its avid following and salivating punters up and down the country:-)

Bran slice thread Hopefully this one will eventually result in a useful recipe...

Thank you SOOOOO much for all the trouble you have taken with this. I've emailed my daughter to say her recipe is posted, and she's getting all overexcited. It's amazing you've done this, shifting and all. Thank you again, bless you!

hairchopper1, Apr 15, 11:30pm
sitting her typing so carefully sorry for that muck up, Sorry she didnt say the size of the tin, She like did this for our wedding cake but doubled it i think & made us 3 heart cakes, cost me &125 for all the ingredients 3 years ago,
THE ICING is in the edmonds cook book,
Its all cream cheese with lemon juice i think & maybe icing sugar,
