:hello:

I've had a few :beer: watching the rugby (say nowt :mad: ), and I was going to make a chocolate yoghurt cake. I cracked 3 very old eggs to see if they were dead yet, and then realised I haven't got any yoghurt (well, only strawberry :o ) and I'm much too drunk to drive to the shops.

Can someone give me a cake recipe with 3 (or 4, or 5) eggs in please, so they don't get wasted? I haven't got much in, so something simple would be best.

Ta very much. :D

Edit: Scottish recipes not welcome, if it's all the same to you. :mad:

Extra edit: I've got no butter either, only oil. :o
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    OOoo another one for the index. :D

    You can make any cake with three eggs.

    Just weigh the eggs and add equal amounts of sugar, SR flour and butter for a victoria sponge.

    Victoria sponge. Weigh the eggs (I used 3 earlier, and it was 200g) then add the same quantity of:
    Self Raising Flour
    Caster sugar (Granulated will do)
    Margarine/Butter

    add a tiny bit of baking powder.

    add some vanilla essence if you're feeling posh and have got some.
    Alternatively, leave out a little bit of flour and add some cocoa powder for choc cake.

    Beat it all up in a bowl and bake at 180 for 15-20 mins.

    Turned mine into a lemon curd sponge earlier.

    I've always done 3 eggs & 6 oz each of SR flour, butter/marg & sugar. Or 2 eggs & 4 of each. Or 4 eggs & 8 of each. You get the idea... lol!

    In fact I've just had the 3 egg quantity one with a tin of peaches underneath - eaten hot with evaporated milk :) Yummy peach upside down cake....

    Have you got flour and caster sugar? You can make a whisked sponge with 3 eggs, 3 ounces plain flour and 3 ounces caster sugar... let me know if you need a recipe...!
    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.
