Basic Cake - In The Mix Recipe Review
« on: April 09, 2012, 02:18:36 pm »
This is a lovely light butter cake. I did my normal thing and mixed the butter and sugar together on speed 3 - 4 for a minute or so, then added 2 of the eggs, one at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds each time. Then added flour and rising agent with the other 2 eggs and followed Dani's directions from there.





Trying to get these photos smaller. In Picasa Web Albums, they're tiny and I've reduced them 3 times in Photobucket. What web albums does everyone else use?

thanks MJ for posting that gorgeous cake pic. I haven't looked a this book for a long while, but from your pic I may just have a flick through and see what recipe you are referring to.

Now at least I can try it :)

Thanks MJ, I must give this a go. So many recipes to try and so few to eat them.
I use photobucket for my photos.

I'm going back to Photobucket. Picasa is a pain.

Made this yesterday.

Easy & quick to make.

A great basic sponge, tastes great as is, but easy to add extra  flavours.

Katie made a fantastic version of this cake today and was kind enough to cut into it so that I could bring a piece home with me.  It was delicious - I'm sure she will post a photo and tell you about it herself.  I would not hesitate at making this one if I needed a cake.

I'd better go and have a peek at the recipe. I love it when others make things and say how nice they are.

Glad you enjoyed it Judy. I haven't tasted it yet.
Dani mentioned this recipe at her seminar and I thought I'd try it. It's probably the easiest recipe in this book!

I used some cooked rhubarb and some uncooked apple as the fruit. I left out the coconut and the orange blossom water and added some vanilla instead. It does look a moist soft cake.
