Cake
Been using same recipe for over 20 years. BC will testify that it's a good one.

Re: Cake
I don't often eat cakes, but this week I saw what looked like a lovely Swiss Roll, just like my mother used to make. However when I attacked it not only was the jam exceptionally sweet but the cake mixture must have been 90% sugar! Gave it away..........

Re: Cake
Today I went for afternoon tea with the girls - it was very nice indeed. As we ate our way through a baker's mountain of cakes the conversation rounded to what our favourite cake was.
I am definitely a millionaire's shortbread or snowball gal
So what's your favourite cake?

Snowball did make me smile, with the filthy connotations that induced, maybe its just me as no one else commented!

Re: Cake
Why has no one mentioned Jaffa Cakes?! The only problem with them is I cannot have 1, I eat the whole packet.

Re: Cake
Most probably because nobody actually likes them. Just thinking about them makes me feel mildly sick.
Chocolate and orange should never be put together - don't interfere with the chocolate.
Classic example of vomit inducing evil chocolate orange combo = Terry's chocolate orange

No - HMRC thought the name was a tax dodge. Thankfully the courts disagreed - see above post.
