Mystery solved Scooby Doo.Salad bags scanning at their price per KG in A
I got an 85g of Mild Mixed Salad for 10p (100g [actual weight] @ £1/kg) - SEL was £1 for the bag but it's coming up as a £1/kg price.
You scan the barcode then it makes you add to scales to get the weight.
This explains the 0.49 bag of Florette from earlier.

Yum PD. sounds gorgeous. I made a gigantic choc and pomegranate cake at the weekend.. still scoffing it my recipe normally makes 24 cupcakes but i just lumped all together. I'm going to try your malteser cake though. Ooh, my Dad's bday is coming up. maybe then,:Tpurpledonkey wrote: »No worries
Ingredients for the cake
8oz caster sugar
8oz unsalted butter or stork margarine (room temperature)
4 eggs
8oz self raising flour, sifted
2oz cocoa powder, sifted
2 tablespoons of milk (semi skimmed or full fat)
- Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C (140°C F)/Gas Mark 3 and grease 2 x 20cm sandwich tins.
- Cream the butter, sugar and milk together until light and fluffy. It should look like the sugar has almost dissolved.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time with a dessert spoon of flour with each addition.
- Fold in the remaining flour and cocoa powder in.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning after 25 minutes if your oven has hot spots. If you have a gas oven, I would recommend using the top shelf; for electric/fan ovens use the middle shelf.
- The cakes are done when they are springy to the touch, golden brown and when poked with a skewer, it comes away clean.
- Turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to completely cool (about 1-2 hours minimum).
For the fudge icing ( a fair warning, this is quite sweet)
110g unsalted butter (room temperature)
400g icing sugar, sifted
60g cocoa powder, sifted
90ml of milk (semi skimmed or full fat)
- Put all the ingredients into a saucepan.
- Over a low to medium heat, continuously stir until all the ingredients are combined and the butter has fully melted.
- Transfer contents to a bowl, cover and put in the fridge for about an hour to thicken up.
- Mix well before using.
Cake decoration/assembly
3 x Packs of Cadbury’s fingers (the 114g-125g ones, also currently 80p in Ts and has 15p CS cash back). Don’t eat any, you will need them ALL
200-300g Malteasers (Ts have the 230g for £1.50 at the moment, usually £3).
- Level one of the cakes and cover with fudge icing (about 3mm thick).
- Place the other cake on top, flat side down.
- Cover entire cake with the remaining icing (this doesn’t have to have to be perfect, just relatively smooth).
- Before the icing sets, cover the outside with the fingers, pressing into the cake and so they are flush next together.
- Eat any remaining fingers immediately.
- For the top of the cake, cover with Malteasers starting with the outside and working your way to the middle.
- Eat remaining Malteasers immediately.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more information and send us a piece! (I rarely get the chance to eat the cakes I make :rotfl:)Tiger :cool:
