mmmmmm just finishing off some left over cake, recipe is:
1/2C sultanas
1TBSP golden syrup
125g butter
1/4C brown sugar
2 large eggs
vanilla essence
2C SR flour
1tspn bicarb soda
2 very ripe bananas mashed
Method: Preheat oven to 180. Grease a 22cm cake tim & line with baking paper. Put sultanas in a saucepan, cover with water & simmer 5mins. Add golden syrup & set aside. Cream butter & sugar, add eggs & vanilla, beat well. Fold in sifted flour & bicarb soda with the sultanas & the bananas. Bake for approx 45mins. Leave 10mins before turning out on wire rack to cool. ****good with lemon icing****
this cake is so easy & yummy......very moist & I'm not a huge fan of sultanas but in this they are yum.
Next week I'm trying my fav, humming bird cake. Got a great recipe that uses bananas & a tin of fruit salad...sounds yummo.
sorry, i just read your post...i hope they turned out okay - no strict rules.....2-3 berries, i usually fill the patty pans 3/4 (we dont have a very good oven....). Learn as you go i say......
Ohhhh and i did have 2 little helpers - and a very dirty kitchen floor afterwards, two messy little faces, and two tops that needed to be thrown in the washing machine straight away...so whilst they were delicious......it did make more work for me.....
mbear ... made them this morn, ... thank you so very much as they are just delicious
If anyone is interested i bought a vanilla cake mix in box from Aldi (69cents) and box of frozen mixed berries from Aldi (i think $6.99, & don't have added sugar) ... I used paper patty pans placed in muffin tin holes, filled about 3/4 & popped 3 berries on each
I made about six large ones in my muffin tray without patty pans but the berries sunk to the bottom & hence got stuck to the bottom of the muffin tray even though i sprayed tray with canola oil ... but i would certainly recommend using the paper patty pans (i buy Coles white coloured cheap generic brand ones) ... as it makes heaps
Thanks again mbear as they are gonna be a favourite in this household
