Needing help to find recipe for old fashioned cake, either fat rascal or eiffel tower

Legacy_user

Hello lovely Old Stylers,
I have a fancy to bake some little cakes with my children that I enjoyed years ago as a child.
I used to have a recipe for them, but have sadly lost it.
I know them as Fat Rascals, my hubby calls them Eiffel Towers.
They are a small cone shaped cake, covered in jam and rolled in coconut, they may or may not have had a cherry on top.
I hope the description is accurate enough for someone to recognise this long lost sweet treat and help me track down a good recipe!

we called them coconut towers however they sound similar. The picture isn't great but matches your description.

I love you Scottishminnie!:j:j:j
They are the very ones that I have been searching for. I was beginning to think I would never find them, I kept getting recipes for a sort of bun thingummy. :T:T:T
I will be making these in the next couple of days.
Thank again,

ETA I just found that I can buy dariole moulds in Frasers (Glasgow), so a wee trip into town for me x

If you haven't made the Frasers trip yet there is a fab new cook shop in Glasgow - it's called Steamer Cookshop and is along from Greaves sports on Gordon Street. It will definitely have dariole moulds and all sorts of other things which you just absolutely need!

They sound like English Madelienes.My mother used to make them in dariole moulds but she dipped them in half set jelly rather than jam before rolling in coconut .
