I'd love the recipe if you care to share! Sorry to hear about your piggies:(<br /><br />Helen<br />There are a lot of eggs in this one aren't there? I do understand what you mean about family influence. I remember when Mum went on a really strict exclusion diet and made us all give up sugar, salt and white flour. Ever since then I've never really added sugar or salt to my food (except in baking of course!).Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853693147709202804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540809747394327987.post-27463223259564582852011-10-12T12:58:49.504+11:002011-10-12T12:58:49.504+11:00The cake looks great...happy birthday Henry...it&#...The cake looks great...happy birthday Henry...it's interesting how your family influences you...my brother is allergic to eggs so mum cooked with as few as possible so when I see a recipe with a large amount of them used, I feel abit overwhelmed by the idea, despite probably eating many cafe cakes where plenty have been used.Helen Laffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492945741158334236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540809747394327987.post-77586380279762227452011-10-11T13:44:44.313+11:002011-10-11T13:44:44.313+11:00"I now realise that for most kids cake is sim..."I now realise that for most kids cake is simply a vehicle for icing and candles."<br />Hahahahaha.....brilliant. <br />I'll have to remember that for when I have kids!<br /><br />I just made a cake last night, a banana gingerbread, it also used olive oil in stead of butter.

Next time I'll make sure I put down more global measurements. As for the Dutch cocoa that's just what I had in the cupboard but I've used ordinary cocoa and it has been just as good. This recipe writing is a tricking thing isn't it?Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853693147709202804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540809747394327987.post-41207012178083862652011-10-10T10:44:36.610+11:002011-10-10T10:44:36.610+11:00Shaheen

I've used Australian cup measurements in the recipe so you might like to check here if you think you'd like to make it.<br /><br />http://www.taste.com.au/how+to/articles/369/weights+measurement+charts#cupCazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853693147709202804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540809747394327987.post-77597013118483616132011-10-10T05:36:34.814+11:002011-10-10T05:36:34.814+11:00Oh I've got another birthday cake to bake next...Oh I've got another birthday cake to bake next weekend and a chocolate one has been requested again...so I'll probably have a go at this.
