Lisas Coco Cola Mud cake Coca cola Mud Cake:

1 Cup plus 3/4 Cup Flour 2 Cups Brown Sugar 3/4 C Cocoa 2 tsp baking Soda 1 tsp baking powder dash salt 2 eggs 1/2 Cup oil 1 Cup Coca Cola or other brand, but not Diet Coke 1 Cup of trim milk or Buttermilk. 1 tsp vanilla Sift all dry ingredients into mixing bowl. And stir till combined. Add wet ingredients and beat on medium to high speed till combined. Make sure you line your tin with baking paper. Do not use a loose bottom tin, as the mixture is very wet. Bake in a 21 cm round cake tin at approx 160°C for approx I hour, or until a prong comes out clean. Do not use fan bake as this will dry the cake out. Leave to cool for an hour before removing from tin. To serve, pile fresh berries in the centre and sprinkle with icing sugar. For a special desert, serve with raspberry coulis, or chocolate sauce, and some whipped cream.
This is a fab recipe, I use it instead of the traditional mud cake recipe. It's a healthier version

Gingerbread Men

75 g soft brown sugar, sieved
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1 tablespoon black treacle or molasses
1 level teaspoon cinnamon
1 level teaspoon ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
Finely grated rind 1/2 orange
100 g butter
½ level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
225 g plain flour
50 g currants (optional)
Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Put the sugar, syrup, treacle, 1 tablespoon of water, spices and rind together in a large saucepan. Then bring them to boiling point, stirring all the time. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in butter, cut into lumps, and soda. Stir in the flour gradually until you have smooth manageable dough - add a little more flour, if you think it needs it. Now leave the dough - covered - in a cool place approximately 30 minutes. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 3 mm thick and cut out the gingerbread men. Currants can be pressed into the dough to simulate eyes, noses, mouths and buttons down their fronts. Place on trays, bake for 10-15 minutes.
