Let them eat cake....

or want to buy lots tomorrow in Ross.

I was asked to make some cakes for a coffee morning for Air Ambulance, so this is what I made...



Working on the principle if you haven't got it you cant sell it....

And the recipe for most of the cakes makes 4 per bowl and my oven can cook 8 at once...

I got it a bit wrong with the ginger bread, I doubled the recipe twice, which made 10 cakes.



Basic cake recipe:
275g sugar
350g marg
5 eggs
450g flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
tip of liquid

flavours :
lemon drizzle, orange drizzle - zest added to cake mixture, juice and sugar mix poured over hot cakes.



banana - 4 mashed added to mixture
double chocolate - cocoa & chocolate chips
and a new favourite coffee & walnut : very strong coffee (think it was 6 teaspoons of coffee solution) and a packed of walnut pieces.

Makes 4 1lb loaves, cook at 180C, for 35 minutes



And these are the second batch of coffee & walnut cooling down ready to be bagged.
In front are loaf inserts and the foil trays that I use for cake tins. Both from Lakeland.

Total cake count for the day:
10 Gingerbread
8 Lemon Drizzle
8 Coffee And Walnut
4 Orange Drizzle
4 Double Chocolate
4 Banana

Lets hope the sun shines and the good people of Ross want to fill their freezers with cake ;-)
