Ah yes, but he's a man! We don't cope very well without cake.

PenPen - if you're so inclined, the rice crispy squares work really well if you combine milk, dark and white choc (although thinner layers are advised, otherwise it can get a bit sickly:EasterBun )

Sis gave it to me, from a newspaper I think, originally from Leiths Cookery School.

Mars Bar Cheesecake

Ingredients

For the base

140g/5oz butter, melted
200g/70z crushed digestives
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the topping

4 large Mars Bars
250g/90z Philadelphia cheese

Method

1. Make the base, melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan.
2. Stir in the crushed biscuits and cinnamon and place in the bottom of a 22.5cm/9in loose bottomed flan ring. Refrigerate.
3. Chop 3 of the Mars bars up roughly and place in a bowl set over, not in, a saucepan of boiling water and allow it to melt slowly.
4. Meanwhile, chop the remaining Mars Bar.
5. When the Mars Bars have melted, take the bowl off the heat and add the cream cheese and chopped Mars Bar. Stir until well incorporated.
6. Pile on top of the digestive base and chill until required. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

My sister says it is really scrummy and easy. :drool:

Well here we are - my first attempt! :j

Finished product with birthday candles. Should have put it on a plate but couldn't get it out of the dish as it wasn't a loose based one. :rotfl: Blooming gorgeous, really rich, but easy to make and OH loved it!



Mmmmm. :drool:



The best bit about the process.



Mr BadExample - I know you want to see me bake, and I didn't have to bake that, but victoria sponge is following shortly. Ok...? :rolleyes:

Well done to everyone else on here by the way. :T

Thanks for that - will try next time :drool: :drool: It is already sickly - the pieces appear very small, but they're enough

Dear Mr b.e.

Here are Phil, Sam, Bridget and Lucy tucking into the Polenta, Almond and Lemon Cake. Sam (the Ham!) took my instructions to be surprised quite literally. It went down very well and there's not much left now. Bridget has put the rest in the fridge,:cool: very Aussie, that. Anyway, I shouldn't be here at all, things to see, people to do. Sorry :ocan only manage a link again, but here it is:

Can I make a cake for my husband? We've only been married 2 weeks and I haven't seen him since (story of my life:D )

He's been working away but has a day at home on wednesday. I'm a shocking cook but I'll have a go at something rich and chocolatey... and I'll post pics.

Toto

oh yes, happy belated birthday Mr BE
