And this is the cake I am continually making (at least once a week) It changes weekly too, but I'll put the usual recipe up .. and the first person to make this cake and show me a photo will win a RAK. Its gonna be a GOOD RAK too, Im thinking a 6x6 album... so get to it!
I got clever tonight and instead of fighting with my flatmate over it, I made double the mix and made 6 large muffins, 6 small muffins AND a cake.... so no fighting over who gets 3/4 and who gets 1/4 of a cake :D everyone is happy now. ooooh yeah, except Derek, he is a fussy bugger and refuses to eat raisins so umm well TOO bad he doesnt get any cake. I keep telling him I'll make him a banana cake.. but then I notice I have all the ingredients for a Lumberjack cake so the banana cake is still unmade. oops, I'm a MEAN girlfriend.
