not sure if we have it already... BUT nevertheless its the e&d free chocoholics cake :)

Ingredients

* 1½ cups standard (plain) flour
* 2 Tbsp cocoa
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp powdered ginger
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup sugar
* ½ cup oil
* ¾ cup water
* 2 Tbsp vinegar
* 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:(( Heat oven to 190°C (180°C fanbake), with the rack just below the middle. Line the bottom and two opposite sides of a 20cm square pan with baking paper. Butter and flour the uncovered sides of the pan, or coat with non-stick spray.))

continued... Sift the first six ingredients through a sieve over a fairly large bowl. Stir in the sugar with a fork, leaving a depression in the centre. Measure the oil and add it to the dry ingredients, without stirring. Add the vinegar and vanilla to the measured water, then tip them into the flour-oil mixture. Stir with the fork until the mixture is smooth and no dry lumps remain.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, until the centre of the cake springs back when pressed, and a toothpick or skewer comes out clean. Leave cake in the pan for five minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.

its amazing and u really cant go wrong, i just love making it LOL

Pistachio shortbread with lemon glaze Whitetrash32 posted this in Dec 2005(!) & I've only just now gotten around to making it. 1-1/4c butter (275g), 3/4c icing sugar, 2-3/4c plain flour, 1t ground ginger, 1c pistachios finely chopped & divided into 2 lots. (A packet will give 1/2c, so I just chopped the 2 packets separately.) Glaze: 1c icing sugar, 1t grated lemon zest, 2T lemon juice or more if needed for drizzling consistency. Beat butter & sugar until light & fluffy, stir in flour, ginger & 1 lot of finely chopped nuts (I added a pinch of salt too) & mix well. Press dough into ungreased 15x10x1 inch pan (can be lined with paper), sprinkly remianing nuts over the top & press into dough. Bake in preheated 170C oven for 20-30min or until edges are light brown. Remove pan to a rack & immediately cut into squares, then along the diagonals to make triangles. Cool completely in the pan. (The shortbread must be cut while hot or it make break apart unevenly.)

last bit Combine the glaze ingredients, adjusting with additional lemon juice if needed. Place cooled shortbread pieces onto baking paper and drizzle with glaze. Let the glaze set, then store in airtight container.

Oy, should be wearing my reading glasses to post 'Sprinkle remaining' nuts over the shortbread before baking, that is. And the shortbread 'may' break unevenly. Anyway, do try this recipe. (Hmmm, methinks I may go have one with a cup of tea right now...)

Sunflower Energy Slice - in Roasting Dish Found this in an old school reunion cookbook. Haven't made it myself, but it says it keeps and freezes very well.

Mix together:
4 cups wholemeal flour; 1 cup skim milk powder; 1/2 cup wheatgerm; 1 cup raw sugar; 2 tsp baking powder; 2 cups raisins; 11/4 cups chopped dried apricots; 1 cup sunflower seeds; 1/2 cup honey; 1/2 cup molasses (maybe use golden syrup?); 4 beaten eggs; 3/4 cup oil; 2 cups water. Pur into roasting dish, bake 45-55 mins @ 180C. Cut into bars when cool.

Date & Ricebubble Slice - unbaked An old recipe I haven't tried myself:

Put 250g dates, 125g butter, 1/2 cup sugar & 1 tsp vanilla in saucepan - heat gently until melted & dates softened. Add 4 cups ricebubbles, mix well. Sprinkle coconut onto sponge roll tin, spread mixture over, sprinkle more coconut on top. I would assume it'd then cool/set on bench before cutting into slices.

Non bake biscuit For all of those who love home baking but can't/won't be bothered with the oven... Lemon Slice. Mix together in a bowl, 1 pkt crushed round wine biscuits, 2/3 c coconut, zest of 1 lemon. Melt together 1/2 tin condensed milk, 200 gm butter and then mix well into the biscuits. Press into a swiss roll tin and refrigerate. Ice with lemon icing - icing sugar, lemon juice and knob of butter - and sprinkle with coconut while the icing is still soft. When cold, cut into fingers.

Mix well till sugar is dissolved. Dough: 1kg flour, 20g salt, 50g sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp of mixed spice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 20g and 100g butter, 20g dry yeast, 550ml water, grated zest of 1 lemon, 150g currants, 300g sultanas. Soak fruit in water for at least an hour. Preheat oven to 190C. Drain fruit. Add all dry ingredients together with first amount of butter. Add water and mix well. Knead for about 5 minutes than add second amount of butter and incorporate slowly. Knead till smooth and glossy. Let rest for about 10 minutes, then add soaked fruit and lemon zest and incorporate. Allow to rise for 1 hour. Deflate and weigh out buns of about 60 -90g each. Place on a tray and allow to rise till doubled in size. Pipe buns with the cross mix. Turn oven down to 180C and bake for 15-20 minutes. When out of the oven, glaze with the sugar mix.

weeks baking? I laugh to myself when I see this thread, any baking I do only lasts a day or 2 in our house (Hubby and 4 kids - not me lol) I dont think I could even try and do weeks baking or they would eat too much too quickly lol!

will try to help with some of the questins lucky0n I think you can freeze just about any type of baking. Some tarts that are filled with egg type filling might not do so well. Yes you can put most cake recipes into muffin tins. Just adjust the timing for baking as tha mounts to be cooked are obviously less!! I don't know the recipe for fruit muffins myself that you are referring to but I have used all sorts of fruit in muffins and it is fine. Tinned fruit is great. Just drain it. keep in freezer for a few months. re: Ginger creams, old recipes call for teacups but a standard cup measurement should be fine. Use equal quantity of frozen berries in recipes as you would fresh. If making cakes or muffins, add berries frozen or the juice will run through the baking. Granulated sugar is normal sugar. Thats all I can help with at this stage. Maybe someone else can help you too. Have fun baking and there is no such thing as a silly question!!!
