Cake

[purpleflower]

I really fancy some cake but don't have any money to go and buy some.

In my cupboard I have:

S/R flour
Sugar
cocoa powder
eggs
marge

Has anybody please got a simple recipe using these?

weigh your eggs - say 3 or 4.

weigh out the weight of your eggs in marge and sugar - cream these together.
stir in beaten eggs

weigh out same weight of flour - if you want a choc cake substitute 1 tbsp cocoa for 1 tbsp flour. sift this and fold in

cook for 25 mins medium oven

Thank you, that sounds easy enough

Does it matter if I use caster sugar or brown sugar? I have it all in my cupboard as I have been planning for months to start baking and only just got round to it

cake won't be as light that is all.

enjoy!

Which one will make it lighter then? Sorry I'm not very good at this

caster sugar more traditional - brown sug will give a more caramel flavour and be a bit heavier. above recipe in 2 7"ish round tins or one larger rectangular.

sorry - thought you only had brown -caster better.

Thank you both so much, I will let you know how I get on.

Well it's just gone in the oven and DP has cleaned the bowl for me.

Keeping my fingers crossed

you mean the drug!!! why would you do that!

If you mean the bowl, I'm pregnant and worried about the raw egg in it

I always remember fighting my brothers for it when I was little.

It's brilliant, thank you

glad it went well!
