I think I can safely say that your weekend is going very nicely for you as I can almost taste your cakes moist chocolatey yumminess just looking at one of the photos!
I shall have to prioritize giving this a try as soon as our heatwave breaks (it’s currently averaging 32C or higher at my current location).
BTW as I’m writing you anyway, please, more cooking video demos when you can. Thanks!
Eeep- that is warm!!! Thanks Lynne – I’d love to get started on more cooking videos and hope to start doing some again in September xxx
That looks amazing. I so want to try this. One question: What kind of syrup? Maple syrup or caro syrup? Or some other British syrup? Thanks!
Oops one more question. What if I don’t have self-rising flour? Add baking powder?
Yes add about 1 level teaspoon of baking powder max to plain flour xxx
Any type of syrup would work xx
Now that you have my undivided attention….:)
That looks delicious! Although I’d have to replace the coffee in the filling – him indoors will have nothing to do with coffee cake!
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsThank you for posting this – I can’t wait to try it! One question – are the tablespoon measurements in British or American sizes?
Hi Maria – All measurements are British measurements unless otherwise stated xxx
Wow! Nice recipe, thinking of replacing the vanilla extract with almond extract and adding some raspberry jam to the middle would make a nice variation.
Thanks for the recipe. I made it with my sone for his world war 2 homework. I think there might be a typo in the filling: should it be 2tbsp, rather than oz, of cocoa? Tasty, and great for my diary and egg intolerant son, and vegan visitor.
Quick recipe from my grandmother during rationing in switzerland in ww2!
Baked Breaded Mushrooms
Mushrooms were abundant in local forests, especially the big wide headed variety. Aparently my great grandmother would cut off the stems (to be used in other dishes) then whip up a mixture of milk, salt, flour and crummed up bread to make a batter around the mushroom heads.
Then they were popped into the oven until the batter was golden brown. Served with veges!
ooooo that sounds really lovely!
Thank you so much for your recipes! I have always loved the old fashioned recipes and our family heirloom recipes but many I can no longer make as I am new to the egg-less cooking/baking world and I have tried dozens of recipes that have now failed because of the adaptions. I am looking forward to using the ration portions as a way to see if I can bring back some of the ones that I love. I appreciate your descriptions of the recipes and how they turn out and I cannot wait to try them. Thank you again! You have given me a new hope with cooking and baking.

Good morning! This looks delicious! What is the difference, please, between US and British measurements? I see that mentioned in one comment. Wishing you well, take care, stay safe, and thank you!
