I used self-raising flour and soft brown sugar in the cake. 150g dark chocolate worked a treat on the Rice Krispie topping, I also added 40g of raisins to the Rice Krispie mixture and popped the whole cake in the fridge, which set the topping a treat.

It's a rich, thick, densely textured cake rather than a light and airy sponge.<br />If it tastes nice then you're doing nothing wrong!The Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-69355758280484161622009-12-19T18:49:54.921+00:002009-12-19T18:49:54.921+00:00I cant make my cake.i have tried it 2 times and bo...I cant make my cake.i have tried it 2 times and both times the cake didnt rise,<br />I am doing exactly what is in the receipy...need help!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-12551278950367319392009-11-27T09:00:38.427+00:002009-11-27T09:00:38.427+00:00Hi Anonymous

Is it similar to "apple pie spice" available in the US?<BR/><BR/>I was pondering my "must have" baking books and came up with the following 4:<BR/><BR/>Nigella Lawson "How to be a domestic goddess" - I love the way she writes about food.<BR/><BR/>The Essential Baking Cookbook published by Murdoch Books. This was one of my first cookbooks and has so many wonderful recipes<BR/><BR/>Sue McMahon "Cupcakes" - has great basic recipes that I've used as a starting point to come up with my own cupcakes<BR/><BR/>Australian Womens' Weekly "Bake". Any AWW book is worth buying but this is a huge book packed with hundreds of fab recipes<BR/><BR/>Hope these bring you as much happiness as they have me!The Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-89953219326082460912009-02-14T18:27:00.000+00:002009-02-14T18:27:00.000+00:00I've started baking again (not sure why I ever sto...I've started baking again (not sure why I ever stopped) and I was lucky enough to find your blog. You have become one of my baking inspirations!<BR/><BR/>I have some questions: What exactly is "mixed spice?" I'm a bit of a spice nut so I don't have any mixtures - I like to work from the basic spices. Perhaps it is what is sold as "pumpkin pie spice" here in the US?<BR/><BR/>I have come to realize that I don't have near enough cake pans and cookbooks (Commandment 6) so I have been working to increase my supply of both. Are there any recipe books that you consider "must haves?"Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055296719510606951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-75799141275657058462009-02-13T15:03:00.000+00:002009-02-13T15:03:00.000+00:00This looks wonderful C.C.
