Ohhh, you've just made my tummy rumble Claire. Good job it's almost lunchtime :D

I've found one !!!! My mate Lyn doesn't eat cake at all.  She doesn't eat biscuits but horror of horrors she hates chocolate   :o  I think she's an alien - thats certainly not human behaviour.

aaaaaah!
What does she eat then? Keep an eye on her Baggy I think you might be right- how strange.

my fav is the traditional german 'blechkuchen' - cake you bake on the tray - often with crumbles on top. works with almost all fruit - yum!

Ohh Svea, please post the recipe! Looks delish :P

oh, there are hundreds of variations. you can pretty much make it up as you go along. for the base, use a yeasty dough (like pizza dough but sweet). roll out and lay onto a tray. then proceed to top the cake with any fruit you might have to hand: sliced apples, plum halves, cherries, sliced pears etc etc. soft fruit wont work this way - the baking time is too long and the fruit would go mushy.
top with a sprinkling of sugar (so the baking fruit forms its own 'syrup' and top with butter crumbles (butter, sugar, flour) :)

to make the cake particularly moist, you could baste the base with something like a thin custard or something, then lay the fruit and top off.

i bet you will eat the first slice before the cake is cold! :D

I am only just finding my way round this site & came across this. I want some cake now.
I find that many of the cakes I make are a result of gluts from the lottie. We have just had rhubarb cake ( which my rhubarb hating daughter loves ), we then have lots of different courgette cakes & pumpkin cakes later in the year. A big hit is banana & chocolate chip cake - I'm always looking for different ways to use up black bananas. Happy eating!

I want cake too- i posted weeks ago when i had cake :P ;D Now i want more. :(

Ohhh, I've just remembered that we used to make 'fridge cake' when we spent weekends with my Nan as kids.

Melted choclate, crushed biscuits, glace cherries and dried fruit all mixed together and put in the fridge to set.............I haven't made it for years, but I think I might have to again, now ;D

You can add marchmallows to that mix too Bunnycat - makes it chewier

I luuuurve cornflake cakes.  Golden syrup, butter and cocoa poured over cornfkakes and left to set.  I would do these with the cubs but the syrup gets as hot as lava and i dont think they could resist licking the spoon :P  Could do fridge cakes though.

Ohhh, didn't think of adding marshmallows. Thanks for the idea, Diana ;D

I remember making cornflake and Rice Krispie cakes too, but we did them with melted chocolate, which never got as hot as syrup ;D
