Delicious WEETABIX cake!

AussieLass

I only use 1/2 cup sugar in Black Saturns Fruit Cobbler and it's sweet enough.

Made the wetabix cake last night and it had all gone by supper time. It was lovely. We toasted the last two slices, and it tasted like tea cakes. Delicious!!

I've only just noticed this post, my youngest has an egg allergy too:D

There are lots of egg-free cakes out there and there is a thread about them

I recommend the eggless chocolate buns - excellent for parties with some chocolate buttercream or melted choc on top. The Norfolk Vinegar Cake is a lovely old fashioned family cake. You can vary the fruit in it too.

PM me if you need any more egg-free advice:) HTH

edit: just noticed another eggless cake recip from Aussielass here

Can someone tell me what type of sugar you use. Is it caster or just normal granulated?

Going to try this tomorrow as all my lot love weetabix and it sounds like something they would enjoy making and munching.

Made it last night as something to nibble on whilst watching a movie with my better half and it was a big sucess = )

I've made this cake a couple of times this week... it is very popular!!

I found it far too sweet with 1 cup of sugar, so reduced it to half a cup. Much better and healthier!

Mines in the oven. Fingers crossed. I've been grown up helper for my 4 and 1 year old boys and now my kitchen looks like a flour mill!! Better go clean with my stardrops!!
