Well I made the Mars/Squonk hybrid Lime & Chocolate Drizzle Cake yesterday

[Slubberdegullion]

and bugger me sideways and call me Shirley, isn't it just fantastic.

It could be rivalling the classic LDC or Nigellas choc fudge at the top of my desert island cakes selection.

It's good.

oh that sounds nice. where is recipe pls?

it's a metaphore lapin

I have promised ds I will attempt it this week. Ds is dribbling in anticipation!

Recipe please

er , re recipe the instructions were not v precise on some chat thread about a cake gone wrong.

Use Mars' classic LDC recp (in recipes bit at top) substitute lemon for limes, add cocoa powder or Mars said "I melt a chocolate bar" so I lobbed in a Barbie Mariposa easter egg, and it was a wee bit pale so I chucked in a good old tsp of cocoa powder. Cooked as normal. drizzled with icing sugar + lime

yum

end resuly def on the pale 'milk chocolatey' side of chocolate cake so next time I will prob use a tbsp (+ /- easter eggs)

OMG sounds lush

do you think it would make a nice birthday cake with a choc ganache? for a 70yo.

Substitue the drizzle for Ganache? hmmmm well for me the tart drizzle it the best bit. But the choc sponge with the hint of lime is very nice. It's quite a sophisticated taste, my DC love the LDC but turned their noses up at the L&CDC (peasants)

Mars, you do realise your ever so easy to make, and yet utterly divine cake brings joy to households all over the world don't you?

I trust this gift to the world has been added to the MN recipe section? (She said in her most official voice, whilst trying not to drool over the keyboard.)

hmmmmmm, shall really have to start baking!

still working my way through it today.

its still v good, and with every mouthful you get a little 'oooh that's lime' moment of suprise.

put them in. PUT THEM IN

DO ONE NOW

uses up easter eggs that are littering the house as well.
