Favourite Cakes


As I have a lot of cookbooks, I don't generally look at books specialising in just one aspect of cooking, such as sweets, as I figure I've already got hundreds of cake recipes I've forgotten about in the back of books I already own. But our local bookshop was having a sale and I remember being given a small book by this author, Julie Le Clerc, some years back that I rather liked.


Flicked through Favourite Cakes and knew these recipes were easy and tempting enough for The Child to want to make herself. So far, we've made (okay, she chose it and I actually baked it) the Honey Syrup Cake and have the Vanilla Angel Food Cake with Berry Icing earmarked for today.

The Honey Syrup Cake was a huge hit - tasted like a fresh, moist Honey Jumble biscuit minus the icing - and The Child, who usually values chocolate cake much highly above all others, declared it one of her all-time favourites.

What's nice about this book is that most of the ingredients are simply listed in cups, tablespoons and teaspoons, which I find nostaligically refreshing in this age of celebrity chefdom and molecular gastronomy.

Pass me an apron and call me grandma.

  1. I shall look for this. Any book that can take this family beyond chocolate is well worth considering.

  4. HOW CAN I EASILY RESTORE MY STOLEN FUNDS? GET IN TOUCH WITH WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER

    I want to use this Medium to say big thanks to WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. I met someone online. He told me how he was making money in the crypto world and got me involved. At first, I was making money until I invested up to $525,000 in this investment scheme. When it came time to take my profit after the end of the contract, they asked for a commission, which I paid another $15,000. They kept asking for more until I talked to a friend about it. She promised to speak to her husband, who happened to know a company specializing in recovering assets lost through fake investment companies. They gave me the contact for WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. After reaching out to them, they asked for all the necessary details about the investment and got to work. They kept giving me follow-up updates, and I can’t describe my relief when they called me after two days to say that my investment and profit had been completely recovered. I just had to post this on every page I can to let people know that they can still recover their lost investment. I highly recommend WIZARD GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER. You can contact them
