Bamboos Plum Cake

Oh! dear. It is a bit too close to dinner for me to be looking at cake. It looks good to me Linda. My tastebuds are in turmoil. A glass of wine will have to do!!!

Hahahaha. It's well worth the try. :o))

Well I never! Didn't know this was here - I must say your cake looks wonderful, good job I'm not there now, there'd be none left. Looks loads better than when I make it, what did you cook it in, Lindalooloo?
Oh forget that, I can see you cooked it in a shallow pyrex dish? How deep, is it?

I would like a small piece pleaseeeeee...Thank you...

Wow that looks good, like the plum decoration too, Ive just finished off Sirleys Plum cake , but still got plums left so will try yours over the weekend ;0))_

This looks lovely, the Plums are turning into food for the Wasps now. : o (((

looks delicious!

Yummmmmmmyyyyyyyy. delicious.

ermm very n ice to x

My mouth is watering at the sight of the plum cake. would love to try it so is there any chance of the recipe please. Am sure other members would like it too. I have just had a look at Bamboo's blogs but was unable to find recipe there.

Hoy!!!!...I'm trying to lose weight....not put it on....lol.....:-o)).....;((((

Amblealice, just forego the cream/custard/ice cream with it then ... lol !

Rohima, if you go to Sanbaz's home page, she has a photograph of Shirley's Plum cake there - select it, flick through the comments, the recipe's under there somewhere. I stuck it on as an alternative to Shirley's recipe, although actually, I don't know what Shirley's recipe is either, lol! We really could do with a recipe section on this site, it'd be so much easier.

Bamboo, there is a' recipes from the garden' section on GoY ! Click on letter R at bottom of page, select recipes from the garden and there's many to try.

looks splendid but alas i,m on a diet

Thankyou for all your comments everyone. It is delicious. Yes Bamboo, I cooked it in a pyrex dish, but the dish was oblong, and a little too big, so I think if the dish had been smaller, then the cake would have been thicker. Not to worry, it came out lovely. Yes Rohima, I had the recipe as Bamboo has said, from Sandbaz's page (shirleys plum cake). I got Shirleys Plum cake recipe as Shirley has just said, from Goypedia at the bottom of the page. There are some lovely recipes there too. Happy eating all. Lol. :o))

Blimey, all this time I've been a member and I never knew there was a recipe section, thanks Shirley Tulip, guess that's where I should have put the recipe then.

LOL, Bamboo, I spend way too much time on here, looking at all the different categories, so that's how I knew !

Bamboo think its nice to put recipes on a blog too so your friends can share also put it in the recipe section as well !!

I agree Grandmage. It's nice to try something different. I'm going to make my Mums Somerset apple cake now, ready for my Son-in-Law when he calls later.:o))

I wouldn't mind your recipe for the apple cake, Lindalooloo - I have one which is fine, but I'd like to know what yours is. I have to say its absolute torture every time I click on this blog, the first thing you see is that delicious plum cake, and I keep subconsciously feeling I'll be having a treat in a minute - until I realise its your blasted cake and not mine, here!

Please , Please, pretty please can I have your recipes to? The plum cake looks so delichious spelling !!!! My mouth is watering like mad.

Lol. Bamboo. Made the apple cake earlier, but had to cut into it before I could take a pic. Son-in-law had to work on, so couldn't call, but Daughter has taken his dinner and his chunk of cake home for him, as he's not sure what time he'll be finished, as he is an Officer of the Law, if you know what I mean. :o)) Lol. Great. The plum cakes are Shirleys and Bamboos. If you go to Sandbaz pics, (pic titled Shirleys plum cake) you'll find Bamboos recipe if you scroll down. If you go to Goypeadia (A-Z) at bottom of page and click on R go into Recipes and you'll find Shirley tulips Plum cake recipe. hope I've explained that right if not my apologies, as I've just confused myself writing it Lol' :o))

Great, where have you been?????

Great, Lindalooloo means Sanbaz, not Sandbaz - but the recipe I gave is under her picture of Shirley's plum cake, towards the end.
And Lindalooloo, you still haven't told me your apple cake recipe.

Sorry Bamboo. Here we go.SOMERSET APPLE CAKE. 4 1/2ozs Margarine. 4ozs Caster sugar. 1 large egg. 8 ozs S.R Flour. 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence . 1lb Cooking Apples. Peel and core the apples, and stew until soft with enough sugar to your taste. Melt the margarine, add sugar and egg and mix. Add vanilla essence and mix. Add the flour and mix.... you will find the mix hard to stir now, but don't worry as this is normal. Spoon some of the mix into the bottom of your dish, try and spread it out as best you can. Spread stewed apple over mix. Put remainder of mix over apples, again this might be slightly difficult as mix is quite stiff. Don't worry as it will level itself out in the oven. Cook on approx 160/180 for about 50mins to 1hr. Should be firm to touch, but making sure middle is cooked through. When cool you can cut into slices and eat as it is, or you can serve it with custard etc. Happy eating. :o))

Well, the basics are the same as my recipe, but I don't stew the apples, you use cookers and just peel and dice them and drop them into the mixture and stick in the oven, so that's the difference. You must be able to tell by now that I'm a lazy cook - less work involved the better! Thanks for that Lindalooloo.

Grandmage I've been up to london to visit the queen. No only joking been very busy trying to find a cavalier puppy, working and stuff. Its nice to be missed Lol
Bamboo thanks Im looking for the recipe now
Lindalulu thank you im searching now!

I said yours sounded like the apple cake, and i could tell by your mixture, as it's similar. :o)) Great the apple cake recipe is down here on the bottom of this page. :i))

lovely linda, im going to make another as its so yummy ;o))

Hiya Sand. How are you? Hope Mum is doing ok. Didn't get chance to come on here yesterday. Been messing around this morning trying to get the car payout sorted, Decided to go out garden and do a bit of pruning and tidying up and the heavens have just opened up.

Hi sandra I cant find yours, or bamboo plum cake recipes only shirley's help!

Hi Great. This is my version of Bamboos cake. If you go to Sanbaz profile, and click onto her photos, you'll see a pic of the cake she made from Shirleys recipe. If you scroll down all the comments, you'll find Bamboos on one of the comments Bamboo made. I think it's towards the end of the page. Hope I've helped. :o))

Hi Great it's me again. Yep, I've just checked and it's the last but one comment on Sanbaz pic of Shirleys Plum Cake.
