After my big success with the Be-Ro boiled fruit cake I'm going to try the tesco Pineapple, fruit and cherry cake, but please can anyone tell me: the recipe does it in a 2lb loaf tin (it's a 2 egg mix with 225 g dried fruit, a 227g tin of pineapple chunks and 100g glace cherries) I'd like to do it in a round tin, so can a clever person suggest a) what size tin and b) how long I'd cook it for please ?

Hi morganlefay
made the Tesco cherry pineapple and coconut cake at the end of last week. Its an excellent cake, easy to make and keeps well ( if you can!) stays moist - the family loves it. I made it in a loaf tin as recipe but Im sure it would be fine in an 8inch round or 7 inch if you like it deeper.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Oh and i would cook it about the same time and test with center with skewer or similar - if its done it will come out clean. If not then cook a little while longer and if it is looking too brown then either reduce temp or cover loosely with some foil to stop it going too dark.HTH

What I really love about OS people is that they are kind and helpful, and you can get a sensible answer to stupid questions in the twinkling of an eye. Thank you very much Valbuk !!!:beer:

Made a couple of onion and cheese loaves. They smell great, so I will try to resist the temptation of cutting into them too soon , whilst they are hot.

Hi

A tray of twinks/hobnobs (used crystallised ginger and wholemeal self raising flour. Really good. I'm not buying anymore shop bought biscuits. Gonna make my own now):j:)

Wholemeal/white bagels. Needed more salt and will use a lower oven setting next time. Really pleased as this is the first time I made them.:):)

The tesco pineapple, cherry and coconut cake (without the coconut as we don't like those little bits that stay in your teeth ). I did it in a bread tin as in the recipe as I couldn't find my round tin, and it's very good, very moist and sticky and OH likes it a lot. Result !

bara brith - i felt like baking but have run out of butter/marg and did not fancy traipsing to the co-op so found a recipe for this that contained all the ingredients i had to hand.. tastes great - i will definatly make it again.
