bubble99 · 21/05/2006 22:51

Would go lovely with a drop of custard, too.....

Tortington · 21/05/2006 22:52

Is the search engine working?

jampots · 21/05/2006 23:02

well Im hoping she brings one when she comes to stay with me ;)

lunavix · 21/05/2006 23:04

I still haven't made this, even though I've printed the recipe about 5 times!

I'll blame the weight gain on impending baby Grin

MrsDoolittle · 21/05/2006 23:08

Yes lunavix, you are pregnant.
GO TO BED!!!! Get the sleep while you can NOW

Which, incidently, is where I should be. I know I'll be feeding in a few hours.

lunavix · 21/05/2006 23:10

I'm eyeing up size 0 kissaluvs.. my current obsession Grin

MrsDoolittle · 21/05/2006 23:12

There is something VERY cute about very small nappies. I like them too. I didn't fall for it though.

wads · 22/05/2006 21:50

come on Marslady... where's the choc recipe???? (another devoted lemon drizzle fan)

jampots · 23/05/2006 16:27

wads - she had a bit of a car accident the other night and is a bit shaken (and hurt). However this could take her mind of it :):):):)

wads · 23/05/2006 21:40

sorry to hear that - her devoted fans eagerly await her return...

MarsLady · 23/05/2006 23:04

Instead of putting lemon rind into the cake, put 4 tbsp of COCOA powder in.

For the topping, melt some chocolate- large bar more if you fancy (in the microwave for a couple of mins, but keep an eye on it). Add a slurp of oil. Pour over cake. When it is cool it will leave a lovely thick, but smooth chocolate layer on top of the cake.

Of course should you wish you could break some pieces of chocolate and stir that in just before pouring the mix into the cake tin to bake. Choccie buttons work too.

Or you can mix cocoa powder in with icing sugar and a little water. Or you could add lots and lots of icing sugar to melted chocolate to get a more fudgy topping.

There will that do you? Grin
