yeah, that will be a problem for me too - I think I'm genetically predisposed to treat all recipes as a guide only no matter what the warning!

And another one for next time. 1.1/3 cups white flour, 1 tsp baking pwdr, 1.5 cups sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, 4 eggs and 250gm margarine or butter (makes no difference to taste or consitency) Put all into a beater or wizz, and beat until pale in colour and fluffy, then into a paper lined tin and bake for 35-40 mins @ 180. Cooked when it springs back.
If I am feeling generous I put frozen mixed berrys and white chocolate in the centre of this, or sometimes just jam, so put half mixture in then the berrys/jam and put other half of mix on top. Happy cooking.

sounds like heaven especially with the frozen berries. Do you thaw them first! (Another stupid question!)

you should cut him some slack as long as he also cleans up (my job anyway so I have a vested interest in keeping the mess under control!)

I made this at Christmastime, everyone loved it and there is still some in the fridge which is perfectly fine (keeping it to see how long it keeps) 1 kilo mixed dried fruit (I went to the bulkbins and bought dried pineapple, papaya, sultanas, cranberries and flaked almonds) but you can use the premixed type 2 cups of juice or black coffee or tea (I used pineapple Juice) 2 cups self raising flour half teaspoon of spice (I used cinnamon) Soak the fruit in the liquid overnight sift the flour, and add along with the spice (you can leave this out) grease and line a cake tin and cook at 180 degrees for around an hour and a half, check it after an hour or so in case your oven is not too accurate.

Cream cake: Break two eggs into a cup and fill with cream. Add a cup of self raising flour and sugar ( I think 1/2 cup). Mix together and bake in mod oven. You can add cocoa if you want chocolate or cherries if you want a cherrie cream cake.It can be baked in a cake form or cupcakes.

Thanks for the recipe. A touch of vanilla is good in this as well.

Yes sorry to say Brummoi, baking is a bit of a science and you have to get the measurements/oven temp/timeing right to get the best results even. Jamie Oliver has to admit that.good on you for giving it a go. and giving us a bit of a giggle
