Quick mix choccie cake I love this recipe...used to make it all the time when I was younger & had a hankering for choccie cake, so baked it again today. It's still my fav basic choccie cake ever & is really moist & quick to make. Best eaten when cold (if you can force yourself to wait). I double the mixture. 90g butter or marg; 2 T cocoa (sifted); 1 C self-raising flour (sifted); 1 C sugar; 1/2 C milk; 2 eggs; 1/2 t vanilla. Melt butter. Add all ingrediants. Beat for 5 minutes (or until smooth). Bake approx 45 mins at 180 deg. (check after 30 mins).

Then, if you want to ice it... Try spreading jam on it first. Then choccie icing (icing sugar, cocoa & water) & top with dessicated coconut. Yum.

koru_designs - 2005-06-04 16:53:00

traditionally choc cake was "apricotised" or however you'd like to translate it. Meaning it was covered in apricot jam - then came the icing on top! Very lovely!

I prefer it "strawberry-ised" mmmmm...strawberry jam. Goes so well with choccie icing :)

Homemade Fruit Jubes ?? scdks... My mum make a great fruit jubes recipe. Will get it from her. She has made trays and trays for local fairs and fundraising. So many different flavours. yum. Will post soon

thomson-tes - 2005-06-16 09:48:00

Oooo Yummy Id love that recipe :) Do they Keep long?

abbey_magick - 2005-06-16 10:40:00

Fruit Jubes FRUIT JUBES: 1 pkt jelly, 2 large cups sugar, 1 cup water, heaped tbsp gelatine. Mix all in large pot, slowly bring to boil to disolve all the gelatine. At boil, add a knob of butter and boil 2 mins. Put into wet tin (run under water and shake water off). Tin size 27cm x 17cm.. Leave 24 hours to set – not in fridge as it sweats. Cold oven works well. Tip out onto baking paper which has been sprinkled with castor suger (1 cup). Sprinkle more castor sugar on top once tipped out. Cut into squares (2cm x 2cm or smaller) rolling each piece as you goin sugar. A little fiddly but works well. Once all cut and sugared leave to dry put into dry plastic container, sprinking sugar between layers. Choose a dry sunny day to make jubes, as a wet moist day affects the quality of product. They keep about a month - flavour expands and the sugar drys out and goes a bit crunchy on the outside, juby on the inside. Yum

thomson-tes - 2005-06-16 17:34:00

fruit jubes Sprinkle sugar over top of jelly in tray before tipping out makes it much easier. Still sugar the paper as well. Sticky work but fun.

smiley_cherub - 2005-06-28 18:56:00

And line the tin with baking paper ... makes removing it from the tin SO simple. Have the paper come up the sides as caramel baked onto the tin is really ikky to remove!
