"Healthy" Cake Recipes

[Daisy]

Main problem with home made cakes is the way they sit there whispering “Eat me! Eat me!”

Shem, that carrote cake is shouting, not whispering. LOL

Carrot cake isn’t normally my first choice but that recipe converted me!

[Qwerty]

OohhDaisy that looks well nice is there any left now she asks politely 😬

[Daisy]

Qwerty - yes, there is a bit left, and it's still moist, but I'll make you a whole new one to yourself when you come down this way.

Shem - I think it's the nicest carrot cake I've ever had - sometimes they seem too 'fatty' and rich, but this is lovely.

I made banana cake last week as I had bananas that needed using up.

This week-end I'm going to try Gem's Plum Cake - I've got plums to use up, but no ordinary wholemeal flour, only strong for bread making, so I'm going to use plain white flour and see how it goes.

[Shemadee]

Let us know how the white flour goes. DD1 has adamson tree in her garden so always looking for recipes to try.

Haven’t made a cake for ages but must remedy that soon.

Shem - two weeks into 'home-made only' I'm still enthusiastic, and I haven't bought any cake, not even a hot cross bun! I don't know how long I'll keep it upfor, but so far so good, and we're finding we are happy with just a tiny piece because it's more satisfying somehow!

Let us know what you bake.

by the way - I love damsons - and you can use them for really delicious damson gin (even I like it and I'm not a gin lover).

Today's bake off!! I made Gem's Easy Cook Plum Cake recipe. It was easy to make, although I did take a few liberties with the recipe - while plain flour instead of wholemeal and unsalted butter instead of salted because I didn't have either of those in. Also the recpie suggested a 126cm tin, which I didn't have, but the 123cm was fine.

Nana - how did you know that!!!!

Qwerty - I've sent it first class - I stuck the stamp on over the plum so it doesn't fall out.
