Plain sponge traybake with pink icing (for the fussy DD) and some Twinks for the rest of us.

Made a fish pie yesterday and used the leftover pastry into cheese straws - went down very well but I overdid the Cayenne Pepper a little :shocked:

***Can I have the orange traybake recipe please - sounds yummy***

Hi the orange traybake is as follows...

Ingredients
225g/8oz soft margarine
225g/8oz caster sugar
275g/10oz self-raising flour
2tsp baking powder
4 eggs
2 tbsp milk
grated rind 2 oranges
For the Icing:
about 3 tbsp orange juice juice
225g/8oz icing sugar, sifted




Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and base line a 30 x 23cm/12 x 9in roasting tin with greased greaseproof paper.
2. Measure all the ingredients into a large bowl and beat well for about 2 minutes until well blended. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and level the top.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the cake has shrunk from the sides of the tin and springs back when pressed in the centre with your fingertips. Leave to cool in the tin.
4. Mix together the orange juice and icing sugar to give a runny consistency. Spread out evenly over the cake and leave to set.

This is also nice uniced & served with custard.

I didn't use the icing this time Because we fancied chocolate frosting this recipe can also be made with lemons replacing the oranges & is equally yummy HTH
