For the easiest cake ever, this takes some beating. I've made 100s of times over the years and never had a failure.

Sorry the ingredients are in 'old money'!

8 ozs SR flour
4 ozs sugar (I use granulated)
12 ozs mixed fruit
2 eggs
4 ozs butter/marg
three quarters cup of milk

Melt marg + sugar in saucepan. Add rest of ingrdients and give a good stir.

I sometimes let the dried fruit soak in the melted marg and sugar to plump up a bit.

Oven 300/150 for about an hour (I use a loaf tin)

Easy cheesecake

Ingredients
4 whole large eggs
450g/1lb soft cream cheese
225g/½lb crème fraîche
225g/½lb quality white chocolate
1 vanilla pod
4 whole large eggs
butter to grease the tin
biscuit crumbs, to dust over the buttered tin (use any type you love)

Method
1. Beat the cream cheese in a bowl or using a mixer until soft, then add the eggs one by one, along with the seeds scraped from the vanilla pod.
2. Melt the white chocolate over hot water, then fold in the crème fraîche until smooth.
3. Fold the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Pour into a lined cake tin and bang down on a firm surface to remove any air bubbles.
5. Bake in a low oven, 150C/300F/Gas 2 until the centre just wobbles and the top is golden brown. If the cheesecake does not colour, do not worry-it is the centre that needs to be just firm.
6. Allow to rest for several hours to firm up, before turning out and serving.

100g SR Flour
100g Caster Sugar
100g soft marge
2 eggs

Bung it all in the food processor. Whizz it up till its all gloopy and runny and mixed together.

Add some cocoa powder to the mix before blending if you fancy.
Stir in some choc chips or raisins or whatever you fancy.

Pour into a lined cake tin (approx 7 inch) and then cook on about Gas Mark 5 ish till done (about half hour or so). Or else pour into cup cakes and cook for less time (about 10 minutes or so).

You can also use a greased dish and put fruit at the bottom and simply pour the sponge mix over the top. Tried, tinned pineapple chunks, tinned/bottled cherries, fresh cherries.

Easy peasy and only the food processor and cake tin to wash up - thanks mum!

Impossible Coconut Pie

While baking the ingredients will do the seemingly impossible and change from a sloppy mess and will separate into 3 layers - a crisp base, a creamy custard centre and a chewy coconut topping.


½ tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
¾ pt milk
2 oz soft butter
3 oz plain flour
4 oz desiccated coconut
6oz caster sugar
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt


Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Grease a 9 inch round baking tin (ideally with loose bottom)

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat or whisk all ingredients until everything is really well combined.

Pour into tin.

Bake in oven for 50 minutes or until the top is puffed up and a crunchy golden brown.


Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating (during this time the pie will deflate slightly).

Serve warm or cold.

When you post a recipe in on the board you really should put it in the recipe section as it will become lost. When Squeaky was a board guide he would move them but I don't think anybody does it now so it will be a shame if all your lovely recipes gets buried in threads.
