Dont necessarily agree with davidt4 comment. sometimes they move down the list and they do get overlooked. I doubt there will be "no interest" in this thread. Thanks for bumping it up Phil - I also bumped up the biscuits ad slices thread which has some fab recipes on it.

There are some great recipes in here! About a year ago I got a recipe from here for a roasting dish size chocolate cake. it wasn't Mel's recipe, the one I'm thinking of had yoghurt and a small amount of coffee in it.Does anyone have that recipe, because I've lost it and it's my daughter's birthday again, so time to do some more baking. TIA.:-)

Process eggs & sugar for 2 minutes. While processor is running, pour in oil slowly. Pulse in the orange pulp, walnuts & coconut alternately with the dry ingreds. Bake @ 180° C in around tin for an hour. Ice with cream cheese icing. Icing: 2 cups icing sugar 50gr softened butter 50 gr lite cream cheese 1 tsp vanilla Beat all these ingreds together until smooth & pale in colour. Spread onto cold cake.

BEST EVER ORANGE CAKE 185 grms butter softened, 3/4 cup Caster sugar,3 big eggs - beaten,2 cups plain flour,1 tablespoon Baking powder 1 teaspoon Grated orange rind*4-6 tablespoons fresh orange juice. SYRUP1 1/2 cups icing sugar,2/3 cup fresh orange juice,1 tablespoon of orange or other fruit liquer(triple sec is good)1 teaspoon grated orange rind** you should always grate citrus directly into bowl in which it is being used : if you grate onto a plate or board most of the flavoursome oils are left behind. METHOD: Grease an 18 cm round tin or similar(if using baking paper remove after cooking)Cream butter and sugar until very light and fluffy indeed and then gradually add egg (to prevent curdling just add a little of your flour). Sift the flour and baking over the mixture and fold in gently Add the grated orange rind and enough jjuice to give a dropping consistency. Transfer to tin and bake at 180c for about an hour (sometimes a little less time) Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes in tin. continued

continued SYRUP AND ICING:- Sift the icing sugar and dissolve it in the juice and liquer, stir in the grated orange rind. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack (good hintuse 2 racks put top down onto one place second rack on top and flip over!)place a plate under the rack then using a knitting needle or skewer pierce holes right through cake THE CAKE MUST STILL BE QUITE HOT. spoon over the syrup. Retreive any that drips onto the plate and pour back onto the cake. When all is absorbed and the cake is quite COLD, WRAP IT IN CLING FILM AND THEN FOIL AND KEEP FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE CUTTING. thats if you can resist the temptation to eat it ! Soooooo good -Sliced thinly and served with fruit and whippd cream makes a rather special dessert.
