[bigknickersbigknockers]

That DH has asked if you have any more recipes that are so yummy, they dont have to be cake recipes... savory ones will be great. Anything that is really delicious.

I've made tons of these in the past but hadnt made one for ages, so this afternoon i did one.
Well i totally ballsed it up. It tastes like poo. I am not happy

But normally it is delicious

Tenbygirl and I quote.....

"Normal suupermarket large"

Are you any wiser ? Because I am not.

It takes a special talent to balls this up, what did you do ???

Again and I quote.

"Any bloody oil that does not involve engine oil,lol"

Come on MARS Where are you
We need your help. I have bought 2 175 g bars of choc but wondered what does the oil do? does it stop it setting properly

Thanks Sherlock, Oh I get the feeling I am gonna balls this up when I make it tomorrow
but at least I will be in good company eh NBG

Sherlock - my cake mixer doesn't have an on switch - it consists of a plank of wood powered by elbow grease!!!

I do have one of those big braun/moulinex food processor jobies that I use for chopping sometimes. Can i use that to make cakes - have never tried. Which attachment would I use? The metal blade, the plastic blade, the whipping plate [stupid thick emoticon - picks would be good!!!]. Would save some elbow grease.

She is in Blackpool salsa ing her ass off.

I would have thought the plastic one, but don't quote me.

Have a look at your destruction manual.

I have no idea lgj.
Lets bear in mind the first time i made it, i substituted margarine for oil, baking powder for bicarb and had 2 eggs instead of 4 but it was still gorgeous.

It tasted totally rank. I wouldnt mind but I went to the shop to buy all the ingreadiants too! So it was all fresh.

Can anyone tell me where my instruction manual is please?

SMS I used my food processor with the metal blade, worked a treat.

What make and model is it ??

Is it in the drawer on the left under all the elastic bands, sellotape and biros?

There you go, the power of MN.

Thank you FT

moulinex ovatio 3 duo.

Off to check the folder that will probably have all he TV manuals of TVs that we no longer have. Bet it doesn't have my moulinex book...

SMS I used my processer with plastic blade and it was great

She will need to do lots of salsa-ing with all the cakes she eats/makes lol

SMS mine is the same processer

TY ladies. Anyone want the instructions for a camera I sold 2yrs ago at car boot?

I really should be tidying my kitchen.

In depth instruction manual here

TY sherlock. I think you can goand sort that kitchen now. My elbow is very pleased that you have provided asistance (I think my tummy will be this time tomorrow too )

Am just adding the recipe here - for completeness

There wouldn't happen to be any other versions hiding away would there? Coffee maybe?

Oops forgot the recipe

Here you go . Cut and pasted from an earlier thread: INGREDIENTS 9 oz sugar 9 oz butter 12 oz self-rising flour 4 eggs 3 t baking powder 6 Tbsp milk grated rind from 2 lemons juice from these lemons separately METHOD Preheat oven to 325 degrees/Gas Mark 3/170C/ Mix all the ingredients together in the mixer except for lemon juice. Bake in 9 X 11 (or 13) baking dish. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until knife comes out clean. While the cake is baking, squeeze the juice from the lemons and heat for 20 seconds or so in the microwave. Set at least one tablespoon aside to drizzle into the cake when it comes out of the oven. Take the balance of the warm lemon juice and add icing sugar (confectioners sugar) to consistency you like. As soon as you take the cake from the oven, prick cake with fork and pour over the reserved warm lemon juice. Next, spread the icing over the cake to finish it off
