Bachelor cake
I called this Bachelor Cake as that described my circumstances. If this is your situation it is a very easy way to impress a young lady visitor. If not, it’s still a quick way to get a “home-made” taste. This is a one bowl recipe my big sister gave me when I was living on my own (with only one bowl!). My flat in London saw many experimental 'easy recipes' tried, and few adopted. This one is still used occasionally. SANDWICH-CAKE- 4oz (112g) soft margarine
- 4oz (112g) sugar
- 4oz (112g) SR flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Throw the lot into a bowl and mix for 2 minutes. Divide into 2 small pans, (or one twice!). Bake at 350°F 175°C for about 25 minutes. That's it - what could be easier?
But wait - there's more!To make Orange-cake, add the grated rind of an orange.To make Chocolate-cake, swap one tablespoon of flour for one of cocoa powder.To make Coffee-cake, swap one tablespoon of flour for one of instant coffee (for colour use a little cocoa, too).Join the two halves with jam and cream or BUTTER CREAM.- 4oz (112g) icing or confectioners sugar.
- 2oz (56g) soft margarine
- 1 tablespoon hot water.
- optionally cocoa, coffee, or orange as above
Beat together and spread on one layer, place the second on top, upside down if you want a flat top for decorating. IN THIS SECTION - instant cooking intro
