Rhapsody Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Following my roaring success with the tips here I have been baking like a fiend. I wanted to make the lemon drizzle but I'm the only lemon fiend in the house so I made this instead- Golden Syrup Trickle Cake #Weigh 2 or 3 eggs in shell #Use same amounts of sugar butter and sr flour to make plain sponge as per classic method- cream sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, add beaten eggs and flour and a good dollop of golden syrup. #Bung in a greased small loaf tin on a low-med heat for 20- 25 mins depending on how much mix you made. #Test with a skewer, if it comes out clean its done. # Turn out onto a rack then over again (careful!) so it is the right way up. # Make holes with skewer in top then trickle in Golden Syrup while still hot, a couple of times. Serve still warm for best flavour I hope you are all proud of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Fantastic timing . I'm drowning in eggs and was going to make a lemon drizzle today but only have half a dried up lemon .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm a cake numpty too . It doesn't come easily to me although I keep trying . I tried this and had to keep putting it back in the oven 'cos it wasn't cooked (I must not have had it at "moderate" or something ). Anyway, it's out now and it's delicious, if a bit crunchy round the edges . Ta da (please note my newly steam-cleaned oven . I'm also a cleaning numpty so am v. proud of self .)

chickencam Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You have my oven ANH how sad of me to notice. How on earth did you get it that clean???? Mine is a bit grubby at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Oh I forgot what I came in for I have also made the golden syrup cake mine also took about 30 minutes to cook in the middle and is quite dark around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You have my oven ANH how sad of me to notice.How on earth did you get it that clean???? Mine is a bit grubby at the moment I used the steam cleaner on it - it's hard work but you get great results . (I even broke a bit on the cleaner in my enthusiasm but their customer services department is great and they sent me a new bit for free .) I should have taken before and after photos but before was far too embarrassing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Wow, well done Rhapsody - not only bakes a cake but invents a whole new one in the process!! Will be giving this a whirl today as I am also drowning in eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I do have one criticism of that cake, Rhapsody . It doesn't last nearly long enough .... I'm going to have to make another one today . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ooh I might have to make this myself, I could do two and use syrup for one and lemon for tuther! Sons have a footie presentation Saturday so if I get chance I will do these later. I think I have 6 eggs in my basket... I need another hen..

chickencam Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Mine nearly all disappeared yesterday I am considering another today would it be cheeky to consider adding some ground ginger to it too? It amazing the colour difference you get from a bit of golden syrup, mine was a lovely colour inside. It got a big thumbs up from the children last night, they had it with squirty cream on the side, their idea not mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I even broke a bit on the cleaner in my enthusiasm but their customer services department is great and they sent me a new bit for free .) I should have taken before and after photos but before was far too embarrassing . Was the famous Omlet steam cleaner? I tried last year with my old steam cleaner which is a sort of tank on wheels with hose type and it didn't do a thing maybe the steam from it is not high pressure enough. I usuallu use oven mate and elbow grease on mine. Oven mate is about the best cleaner for ovens that I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
