Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 10:25 pm Post subject: Tipsy cake for debs |
|
|
1 rounded tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp boiling water
Mix and allow to cool slightly
4oz soft marg
4oz caster sugar
beat together with cocoa then add
2 eggs
4oz SR flour
1 tsp baking powder
I use a greased ring tin to bake it in at gas 3
Then for the good bit
When out the oven and still warm pour over sauce made from
4oz granulated sugar
1tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp sherry or tia maria (official measurement I tend to slop it in!)
heat these together until well blended and thickening, pour over the cake in the tin. When cool tip out and cover with whipped cream. Can be decorated with grated chocolate, broken flakes, halved after eights - you choose! |

for you DEB:
4oz marg is a stick
4oz caster sugar is half a cup (I think - it works that way for granulated but I have run out of caster - which is finer than gran but not as fine as icing (confectioners)
4oz SR flour is 3/4 cup cake flour
4oz granulated sugar is half a cup
our spoons are roughly the same as yours. |

Okay, okay, remember some of us are old. Now then, all you debs must change your names, so we can know who is who  |
