abwsco Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I do so you could make it and send it here What about marble cake? LOL's. It's sooooooooo long since I've done lots of baking that I'm a bit on the rusty side. Although saying that a whole LD cake has been eaten tonight Do you have a recipe for marble cake please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I bet you could do the Dorset Apple Cake in a loaf tin, might have to reduce the quantities dfepending on your tin size (or make two!) it freezes well, if it lasts that long. Got an urge to make one now! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Kate's Christmas mincemeat Streusel Cakes are made in a loaf tin, and are extremely yummy! I'm going to have a go & change the mincemeat for a fruit jam I think as I've finished my mincemeat - alternatively make up another batch just for these delicious cakes!! n.b. I've never used dried cherries but dried cranberries work very well, as does not extra fruit on the top. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=36288&view=unread#unread Oh dear I may just have to go & put the oven on now! I've made almost any cake mix in a loaf tin, just don't fill it too full. Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Fruit cake, cherry cake, ginger cake, most cakes to be fair can be made in a laof tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I make most of mine in a loaf tin as I only have shallow victoria sponge tins, not much good for 'proper' cakes I do ginger, cut and come again, lemon drizzle, golden syrup, sticky toffee, mincemeat streusal and anything else I can think of!

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Snowy, what's a cut & come again cake ? I thought all cakes were like that...? Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Wouldn't it be nice if you cut cake and it grew back, oh how plump I would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Snowy, what's a cut & come again cake ? I thought all cakes were like that...? Sha x Absolutely! They certainly are in our house. However, I think the cut and come again cake is a cake made using the rubbing-in method and which has marmalade in it. Not sure though.

Ahh I didn't know why it was called 'cut and come again', but yes it is made with the rubbing in method, so that explains it! It's an easy fruit cake with the crunchy sugar crust No marmalade in mine though I use a recipe supposed to be from the turn of the last century!

Only I will have to test it out to see if it DOES come again after cutting (love cakes with crunchy sugar on top!) BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Just for you Beckyboo! 225g SR Flour 1 tsp mixed spice 110g soft brown sugar 1 egg, beaten pinch salt (I don't bother with this!) 110g margarine 175g dried fruit 150ml milk Handful of demerara sugar Put flour, spice, and salt into bowl and rub in margarine (can be done in a food processer) Add sugar and fruit Mix in the egg and milk, adding more milk if needed to get a fairly stiff dropping consistency. Pour into a greased baking tin (it's enough for a 2lb loaf tin) and sprinkle the demerara on the top. Bake for 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours at 325F/170c or gas mark 3.
