in Old style MoneySaving
The school is having a raffle and cake stall this afternoon (only school in area that is open today!) I was going to buy my ingredients this morning but because of the snow I couldnt get to Asda. I need to make some easy cakes or biscuits now but cant find any basic recipes. I have a
kenwood chef,
flour,
eggs,
choc chips
butter
milk
but no baking powder.
Probably some other bits lurking in cupboard. Any suggestions please?

    Depends on what sort of flour you have? If you have plain flour you could make shortbread. 4oz plain flour, 4oz butter,2oz caster sugar, alittle vanilla flavouring. Just mix butter & sugar together then add the flour and vanilla. Roll on board cut into shapes/squares. Put in oven at gads mark 4 for approx 15-20mins.
    Or how about choc chip fairy cakes? 4oz of self raisng flour,4oz caster sugar,4oz butter,2 eggs and choc chips. Mix butter & sugar together add eggs then flour, then choc chips. Pour into cake cases. Or two large tins and put together to make choc chip sponge cake? Good luck.

    100g SR flour
    100g Caster sugar
    100g soft marge
    2 eggs.

    Chuck in a bowl, beat together (user food processor/hand mixer/wooden spoon). Add cocoa powder or choc chips or whatever takes your fancy.

    Put into small cupcake cases and bake in oven.
    Or pour into greased dish and bake in oven.

    Lovely if you add 20g cocoa and choc chips, line a 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper and bake in oven. Yum.

    Of course! I always "test" my biscuits or cakes ;) research purposes u'know.

    Doesn't matter that they don't look very impressive - bet they taste gorgeous.

    Well done you x

    Absolutley, u have to research biscuits and cakes just to make sure they taste ok, wouldn't want them to taste awful would you:rotfl:
    It doesn't matter that they didn't look impressive, the point is you made the effort and they will LOOK homemade,if they looked perfect people might think you'd cheated :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Hope it goes ok, let us know how it went...
