There would be a couple of pages of Reader's Recipes and some were very good, they no long have that section in the newspaper.<br />xSue xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087301722255232731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-89286560725461027782013-08-24T16:41:46.753+08:002013-08-24T16:41:46.753+08:00Any information, Sue on the name of this cake?Any information, Sue on the name of this cake?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051452583200503966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-18992020488238636072011-09-27T20:33:21.056+08:002011-09-27T20:33:21.056+08:00Oh that looks delish!!
I'm a bit like you Sue,...Oh that looks delish!!<br />I'm a bit like you Sue, heaps of recipes collected over the years and never tried out. I even have books of recipes cut from magazines and newspapers that belonged to my Grandmother and my Mum. Some of Nana's are from the 30's. A few weeks ago I finally got round to making a orange cake that my Nana use to make. The recipe was hand written by my Mum in the 1960's. Lovely cake and sweet memories.Lisahttp://sewingtheseedsofchange.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-2940471632002196212011-09-27T17:16:34.184+08:002011-09-27T17:16:34.184+08:00Hallo Ishieta...have you joined the Down to Earth ...Hallo Ishieta...have you joined the Down to Earth Forums yet? Rose is doing a Christmas cake bake-along and sharing a good recipe in the steps it takes. The mixed dried fruits are soaked in brandy or fruit juice for many days and then cake is baked many weeks in advance of Christmas on December 25th.<br />If you do want to join the forums you can do through Rhonda's blog...you will be made very welcome there and find other recipes for cakes and meals.<br />This is very good recipe, the Women's Weekly have a huge range of cookbooks, all with lovely recipes. "http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/food/cookbooks/787300/best-ever-boiled-fruit-cake"<br /><br />If the long list of ingredients looks daunting I can certainly find simpler recipes such as my Nan's pound cake for you.<br /><br />Did your mother put icing on the cakes she made?<br /><br />PS it's just taken me over 2 years to finish a tiny patchwork 1 square yard in size...something that mustn't be rushed! ;)<br /><br />xxSue xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087301722255232731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-57805723279894640042011-09-27T15:50:24.210+08:002011-09-27T15:50:24.210+08:00Hi,
