Have hardly any butter, bit of S/R flour, lots of plain flour. What can I bake?!!!

[hotcrossbunny]

Need to bake something cakey but have hardly any butter left, about 3 oz S/R flour and lots and lots of plain flour. bananas lots, raisins etc.
Any ideas?

have you got any sunflower oil ? You could do muffins therefore not needing butter ?

I made digestive biscuits the other day cos I had no eggs and kids have eaten all the junk in the house, for those you need oats, plain flour, butter/fat, bicarb, i think the resipe was on greenchronicle.com or something green anyway

No sunflower - lots of olive oil!
Loads of eggs hardly any butter....

I have an olive oil cake recipe somewhere (and presumably olive oil would probably work in muffins)

Hang on....

Ooh yes please!

my muffin book says not olive oil because of strong flavour - but otherwise would presumably work.

Olive oil cake -

1 orange
1 lemon
4 large eggs
115g caster sugar
175g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
225ml olive oil
100g blanched almonds
icing sugar for dusting

put orange and lemon in pan and cover with water bring to boil, simmer 30 mins - drain and cool. cut away skin from pith and puree in food processor (skin not pith)

Beat eggs with sugar, sift flour/baking pwnder/pinch salt, fold into egg with oil, gently fold in almonds nad fruit.

Bake 45 mins 180/gas 4/fan 160

do you have oil, eggs and carrots, most carrot cakes do well with oil instead of butter
