Lesley Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'll make some with Gluten free digestives............ Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm making this later. We bought some 'Tiffin' at Whirlow Hall Farm on Saturday, it's basically the same thing and it was gorgeous! My nana used to make something similar when we were little but my mum lost the recipe This is as close as I've tasted to my nana's cakes so can't wait to get cracking!

Christian Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 My OH (also from Scotland ) makes this, but adds mini marshmallows to the mix too. A low cal version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We put chopped cherries in ours too. We also call it tiffin. Of course all us Omleteers don't eat cake & naughty things do we? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 made some I put macadamia nuts, walnuts and dried cranberries in mine rather than raisins http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2460996&l=1666614f6a&id=568396756 I feel sick now though as I cut too big a slice! Well, couldn't put it back with teeth marks in could I! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I have just made some and put in the fridge to set - the mixture was delish so great expectations for the finished article! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerlady Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I make that toooooo! Recipe from my Mum soooo many years ago...but we call it 'hedgehog' and I have absolutely no idea why! No hedgehogs are ever harmed in the making of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm not going to lose weight this week now I made mine with glace cherries - and Lauren made one with gluten free, choc chip cookies and cherries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I was determined to start a weight loss programme but the trouble is we have too many ingredients in the cupboard to use up first and they're all fattening and there's no way I'm chucking them out; I can't abide waste and can't afford to chuck them out so I'll just have to keep making cakes for now!

Ygerna Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) I've just made a variation on this, I used less digestives and added a couple of roughly chopped Crunchie bars and some mini marshmallows:D Have not tried it yet, but have very high hopes for it ETA - Hubby has asked that I dont make it again. He has been scoffing it since he came home and declared it delicious. He asked what was in it, I said, Chocolate, cocoa, golden syrup, butter, sugar, digestive biscuits, crunchies, mini marshmallows and raisins. His reply, 'ah, raisins, does that make it a healthy snack?' Edited April 30, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickweed Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 This refridgerator cake is the best thing I've ever tasted and so simple. I am trying not to visit this section too often as my clothes are getting far too tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Glad you all like the cake. I haven't made it for ages and you are all posting delicious sounding variations. Good job I don't have most of the ingredients and I am not supposed to have much diary products (which includes chocolate in my diet).

Blackrocksrock Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have yet to sample it also - used to make it years ago under the name tiffin too. It looks lovely and I will make some but not to-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Funnily enough YS and I were talking about making something similar to this. I'm a fan of Rocky Road and when I was a youngster my mum used to make Regridgerator cake for my birthday every year, it was my favourite.

Sunshine Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I made this on Friday and had to make some more yesterday because it had all vanished so quickly and it was so yummy! My mum asked me if there was anything remotely healthy in it Its very similar to a cake that i often make. The recipe came from my auntie friend so the cake is named after her(so we all laugh when i ask if anyone wants any Judith!). Its very similar but without the cocoa powder and no nuts.

craftyhunnypie Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 You can put peppermint flavouring or orange flavouring it it too. Mmmm choc orange slice. Got to make some of this soon. Or imagine biscuits, cherries, almonds, almond flavouring & white chocolate. Mmmmmmmmm Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've just looked up this recipe again as I've been informed that I need to do some home baking for 30 kids for Monday . YS is going on "projects", a 12 day trip hillwalking, canoeing, mountainbiking and camping. Each parent has been asked to provide something (there are only 15 kids going so I suppose they'll get 2 bits each!) The whole of 3rd year is sent away to leave the school quiet for exams .

Valkyrie Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I haven't done one of those for ages - just wondering if the Mooncake was made that way. I have put dessicated coconut in mine with raisins and cherries, called Island Slices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have put weight on and its all your fault - i am not happy. Made my fourth batch of fridge cake this weekend. I am delighted as have also managed to make my daughter some that is dairy free, soya free and egg free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Made 2 batches for YS's school trip - one with raisins and crushed Crunchies and the other with mini marshmallows. Trouble is, once I'd cut them each up into 15 pieces, there was only one bit of each left for us to try . Both were totally scrumptious though, so I'll be making that again .
