I made some chocolate beetroot brownies today, to use up some beetroot. The recipe is here. They're lovely but unfortunately really quite expensive to make

Well we've just scoffed some, a square each with a bit of vanilla ice cream, and they were lovely. DH says he prefers 'normal' chocolate brownies, but I think I prefer these because they have a lovely texture. Do try them, they're very quick to make.

Hi
I do have a proper tin for large cakes but wanted to make a thin slice one that can be cut into fingers because the kids only like a little bit and hubby isn't allowed a big piece cos he's diabetic.
I found the recipe now but i'll have to keep a close eye on how long to cook it for....wish me luck!!!;)
This is the sort of thing i wanna make...

Have you made it bananadog? If so, how did it turn out?

One cake that I dream of making BTW is Black Bun.Has anyone made this?My Mum made it once,I was so impressed at her skill and it was,of course,delicious.I'm not even sure that I've got a black bun recipe.

I was just flicking through Delia's Happy Christmas and guess what, she has a black bun recipe! She uses a 15cm round cake tin, which is quite small, about 6". Oh I am tempted to have a go. I have all the ingredients... but nobody to help me eat it. Nobody seems to like fruit cake. What a pity you don't live near me, you could have helped! :rotfl:

Oh and re the potato bread, I can't find my recipe (haven't made it in a long time) so will have to ask my mum, but it's essentially this type of thing.

Edited to add: today I managed to get hold of rye flour so I have some rye & seed bread rising away happily, plus some batter for crumpets which I'll cook on my lovely new griddle. It was fantastic for chicken fajitas last night And I made some little bread rolls dusted with semolina, which we'll have with pork & apple burgers for tonight's dinner.
