I’ve just pulled a Yorkshire Parkin out of the oven. I made the mixture this afternoon but had to go out and didn’t have time to bake it. My house smells delicious now, gingery and nutmeggy. I’ve put it in a tin with foil and shall let it mature for a few days. I’ll serve it with a treacle toffee sauce to make it a proper treat.
It’s traditionally eaten on bonfire night so I shall have to make some more in preparation for that

I love parkin!

Marmite, you should have a go at making some. I’ve not made it for a few years but it’s always a favourite when I do!

Hi all,

Brambling, I have 'borrowed' your malt loaf recipe, sounds lush...

Today I am making a basque cheesecake, similar to an American baked cheesecake, but without a crust

Hopefully others will join in

I currently have a boiled fruit cake in the oven. Strange recipe, uses sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar.


I would class this as experimental (though reported to be good and moist), hence no details posted. If it's nice, I'll let you know.

Or you could put your money where your mouth is and let us judge by sending us a slice through the post

If you send me a nice hot cup of tea, maybe.

PS - The cake actually does taste very good, but it's very dense. I think that there's too much liquid in it? Even though the skewer came out clean, it could have done with longer in the oven in my opinion. Oh well, next time.....
