sticky gingerbread cake/loaf recipe? I've tried a few but they turn out quite bland and not sticky and dark like one I remember from childhood... it was quite dense and spicy, may have had golden syrup in it. Anyone have a recipe that sounds like this? Thanks.

An oldie but a goodie - "Perfect Cake" 1/2 cup (125g) butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 eggs (beaten), 1&3/4 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup milk. Cream the butter & sugar. Add the beaten eggs, then the sifted flour & baking powder. Lastly add the milk. Bake at 180ºC for about 30 minutes. Variation: This is a basic mix that can be varied to make a chocolate cake, lemon cake, orange, marble cake, or….. e.g. for a Coffee Cake - add 2 tbsp coffee essence & adjust the milk quantity to be 1/2 cup minus 2 tbsp.

quick & easy to mix, moist, keeps & freezes well.. YOGHURT CAKE. You need 1 washed empty 125ml yoghurt container. Place all the following in a mixing bowl in the order given: 3 x 125ml containers self-raising flour, 2 x 125ml containers caster sugar, 1 x 125ml yoghurt – plain or fruity (apricot is really nice), 1 x 125ml container cooking oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 3 eggs (beaten). Beat all together until smooth, then bake in a 20cm diameter cake tin at 160ºC for approx. 1&1/2 hours or in a 20cm diameter ring tin at 160ºC for 1 hour, or until golden. Ice if you wish but is nice as is.

bumping so as not to lose the thread and..... Pam, somewhere I'm sure I have a malt loaf recipe. I'll have a search and post it for you if/when I find it - my apologies for not seeing and responding to your request earlier.

245sam - 2007-06-30 18:36:00

Fruit Malt Loaf 340g self-raising flour, 170g sultanas, 55g margarine, 150ml milk, 4 tbsp malt, 2 tbsp each of treacle & golden syrup, 2 eggs (well beaten). In a bowl place the flour & sultanas. Heat the margarine, milk, malt, treacle & golden syrup together but do not allow them to boil. Stir the warmed mixture into the flour and sultanas, along with the eggs, mixing until the mixture is smooth. Turn into a greased loaf tin, ease the mixture to the sides & hollow out the centre slightly. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes, then at 160°C for 40 minutes, or until a warmed skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of the loaf. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out. Leave overnight, then serve sliced & buttered.

Ginger Loaf This is out of very old (70's) recipie book so not sure how good it is as I have never made it. 2c flour, 1c milk, 1c sugar, 1 egg, 2tbs golden syrup, 2tsp ginger, 1tsp cinnamon, 1tsp mixed spice, butter sixe of an egg, pinch of salt. Beat all ingredients together for 8 minutes then add 1tsp baking soda dissolved in 1tbs boiling water. As old books go it doesn't tell me how long to bake it for and what temp so I would say 160c for half hour and check if it is done.

easy fruit cake hi Katalin, try this one.
Boilet Fruit Cake.

1/2 pound butter
1 cup sugar (either white brown or raw )
1 cup water
1 pound fruit (any mix you prefer)
Boil all the above for 5 minutes

COOL then add 2 beaten eggs, 2 lge cups flour (i use SR) or 1/2 tsp baking powder.
1/2 tsp each of lemon, almond and vanilla essence
1/2 tsp each of mixed spice, cinnamon and ground nutmeg
add walnuts or almonds as preferred.
The above quantities will fill a 7 or 8 inch tin
This is a very old recipe and i have used it over and over (without fail )for birthday and wedding cakes for nearly 50 years but usually double or quadruple it and substitute some water for sherry. In this quantity say 3/4 water and 1/4 sherry
If you boil the mix in a large saucepan and add the other ingredients to it saves the need to use another bowl.
Simple and reliable Good Luck

APPLE SCONES Someone posted a recipe for date and orange scones and this is another good one.
3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg,2 tsp cream of tartar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/4 pound butter

rub butter into dry ingredients,
mix lightly beaten egg with milk and add to dry ingredients.
roll out on baking paper on oven tray and spread 1/2 with finely sliced apple. fold over other half.
mark and cut into squares while still hot and sprinkle with icing sugar when cold.
this recipe is well over 100 yrs old and baked in an old coal range
without a temp gauge so cook as you would with any scone mix
