Womens Weekly Quick-Mix Cakes
« on: January 21, 2012, 05:17:56 am »
I am loving making cakes in my TMX and recently re-discovered the Womens Weekly Quick-Mix Cake book which had been sitting on my shelf gathering dust.

There is a whole section on one bowl method cakes and these are perfect for the TMX, especially as the ingredients have already been converted into grams.  Today I made the family sized vanilla butter cake, a very yummy buttery cake, great for lunch boxes. Not sure if it is still in print but there are a couple on ebay.

Acouple of my favourites are Boiled Chocolate Cake page 84.
Melt n Mix fruit cake page 75.
Berry Jelly Cake page 67.
Banana Caramel Cake page 58.
Apple apricot surprise cake page 32.
Cut n keep butter cake page 24.

Hazelnut Choc apple cake page 16, except I used ground almonds.
Cherry Almond CAke page 10.
Fudgy chocolate cake page 10.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I have this book and have made a few cakes in the TMX.  I make the family banana cake but swap in pie peach instead of banana.  My partners friend mis-heard me one day and so this cake is now called b***h cake
