Barbara, I've a friend coming round tomorrow so I've made your yummy cake this afternoon. I've been popping in and out of the kitchen when the tennis got too tense lol. I'll be having a slice after dinner when it has cooled. Thanks again.

I do Barbara it's delicious but I won't have to eat it all on my own as I have a friend coming round later. Only thing is 'tho, it stuck to the bottom of my non stick baking tins (I did grease them as well) so I had to do a bit of a repair job. It's grand for me here 'tho, sure it all breaks before we eat it anyhow. Perhaps I should have greased a bit better.............. |
