Cherry cake and banana bread used to be daily things for me, although not made the time to bake much of late with the baby (excuses excuses i know) but so going to have to try some of the ideas listed here reading this made me hungry!

I really like the sound of your lemon cake.... any chance of a recipe please?

Livalot xx

2 cups SR flour
250g melted butter
1 and 1/3 cups caster sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
3 unwaxed lemons, grated and squeezed
extra 1/2 cup caster sugar

Grease & line a 23cm round, or large loaf tin.

Put flour, sugar and lemon rind in mixing bowl, add melted butter, eggs and milk. Mix together quickly and turn into lined tin.

Bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 mins. Test with a skewer.

Mix the additional 1/2 cup of sugar with the lemon juice and pour slowly and evenly over the hot cake. Leave to cool in the tin.

Apologies for the cup measures, I have seen another thread somewhere with links to conversion to weight tables. 1 cup is 250mls, 1/3 cup is 80mls.

It's not my recipe, I use the one from this very forum (though as I try and cut out dairy I use water not milk) - linky

My standards are all egg-free

Eggless chocolate buns- a wartime recipe but made with butter rather than marge. I've just made some without cocoa, so they're just eggless buns, I'm going to top them with chocolate for dd to take to a party so she can have cake with everyone else.

Fork biscuits -a Mary Berry recipe which doesn't need rolling out, just rolling into balls

Anzac biscuits - a drop biscuit, so no rolling, just drop spoonfuls on the tray.

Flapjacks

Muffins -all kinds, I use a basic recipe and sometimes do a version with yogurt which make them very moist.

Eggless carrot and banana cake -a new favourite which I got off here.

Oat rounds -another Mary Berry biscuit, she rolls and cuts, but I make them into balls, works just as well.

Bread pudding - to use up all my hm crusts, can't bear to chuck them.

would be really interested to know your egg-less recipies

I would also love your egg free recipes, I have a nephew who has an egg and nut allergy. My grandma loves to bake for the little ones. Would like to try some so that he can join in the bun fight!!!

I wouldn't define it as "a lot", but other wise yes
