- As ovens vary, check that the cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into it when you think it is cooked. If the skewer comes out clean, it is cooked, but if the skewer comes out gloopy, it needs a bit more baking. If you haven’t got a skewer, use a small sharp knife.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a granny who loves cooking and baking.
I have an old favourite cook book and have two daughters who both want to inherit it. My ex husband pinched it, but my oldest daughter stole it back again! It has some marvellous recipes in several versions so you can choose the one that you have ingredients for.
I hate eggs but thought I should give them to the kids, so I used to microwave them so I didn't have to smell them. My kids were in their teens before they found out that eggs don't really taste of rubber!
