Thanks, Stickitoffee....

Oowwww that looks good Gee.... could just eat a bit of that now.....

That does look very tempting, but just been out for an xmas meal so will pass today, but will be back tomorrow if there is any left over!

Looks lovely...
... please may I have the slice with the house on ..Lol. ;o)

I'll have a piece now if I may Gee , It looks delicious , i've just made a cup of tea and am having a rest from cooking .. :o))

Of course you can, TT, it looks as if its about to slide down the side any minute! A meal out sounds good, PP, I've been cooking most of the day so just had fish & chips with my youngest grandson :)

Sorry, Amy, it's for Christmas Day but I'll make sure I save you all a slice :)

Oh my! That looks tasty!!

Looks great Gee....I'm going to invest in one of those cake rings...it'll much easier to slice...:o))

looks yummy Gee must have ago ;o)

Ooooh nice..........................

Yummy Gee........enjoy! :o)

It's a very adaptable recipe - I left out the nuts and cherries (not liked by my family) but added more raisins and sultanas. As Sticki said, it is a large cake :)

Yum Yum, enjoy!! We can all go on a diet in the new year. Lol.x

looking at that I might add back cherries and nuts its fantastic...which "new year" Grandmage????

Tetrarch..... 2012 in time for the olympics maybe????

Huh! Cant see them having a Geriatrolympics! I shall try my hardest tho lol¬

If we all stick together how could they refuse!! Lol.

looks a very lovely cake gee ~ has it all gone now?
i will join in GM ~ id like a medal!!! ~ do they give them for clearing snow or for doing and all the cooking or all the washing up????

Sticki, think we could start a new catergory !? Think we all deserve medals, that did make me laugh. Lol.

yes excellent idea!
being british there were some very sarcy ideas for events suggested at the time that were very amusing but not repeatable.
now what can i think of?
higher faster furthest are the criteria:
highest price in the sales?
fastest queue in the supermarket
furthest train for cheapest ticket????

Gill , I've been looking for the recipe for this yummy cake , Is it on here ? thanks :o)

Don't worry Gill ,I've found it on Sticki 's page , I could only remember you making it , I always remember good cooks you see , :o))

How strange, Amy, I was thinking earlier today that I would make one of these for when my family come on Monday. It is such a simple but lovely cake :)

here it is if this is any help:

[hope this is the right one anyway]

It's become a firm family favourite here, Sticki :)

oh, thanks Gee, im really glad you like it!

It's o.k Sticki thanks I found it in the recipe pages , I was going to make it today but then was side-tracked by other things ,I made a Bakewell tart and a custard tart instead, I'm afraid it will be another day before I make it now, we are going away for a few days on Thursday so I don't want to leave to much in the cupboard .. It must be good if it's a family favourite Gill have a nice day with your family on Monday :o))

bakewell tart sounds really lovely! eaten plenty but im not sure i have made one of those, i also like custard tarts, bit trickier to make!!

My baking was bypassed today, too, all I've done is make a trifle. The cake will be done tomorrow morning hopefully. Hope you enjoy your time away, Amy :)

i have another recipe if you like, this one is 'sultana slab' i make it quite a lot mainly because my youngest son and OH particularly like it ~ its a fruity and moist cake.

Have you put the sultana slab on before, Sticki, because I have a recipe called that. I wonder if it's the same, it contains 2 tsp almond essence.

i might well have done, its one i know i can rely on, just taken one of them out of the oven and yes it has almond or maybe vanilla essence in it. you boil the sultanas then melt the butter in the warm drained sultanas.??

That's the one, Sticki, yummy :)

it is!! might even put some in the post for youngest son!!

My local family come to me for a meal most Monday evenings. I always bake something for them to take home to last the rest of the week :)

aw thats really nice, mine live too far away :-((

two and a half hours to either son ~ not the same direction either!!!
