I'm amazed they had good access to coconut back then. The cakes sound delicious. I'll be looking forward to these monthly instalments.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008246307753272616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-36056031033344350992010-03-01T21:51:22.384+00:002010-03-01T21:51:22.384+00:00Im back .

I used to make quite a few cakes with it and remember it as giving a fantastic texture - they don't end up tasting of beef, honest!Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-90106533033154246642010-02-28T19:15:53.999+00:002010-02-28T19:15:53.999+00:00They sound lovely.

Lots of icing is great sometimes, but sometimes a plainer, yet still delicious cake appeals more. <br /><br />I have to admit that I haven't got any old cookery books, but I'm going to keep a look out now!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.com
