Not all are strictly cakes but should be enough to keep you amused.


Bacardi double chocolate cake or Coffee orange fudge cake look worthwhile.....

Dear BBWCHATT, You are a mine of culinary info, a veritable re-incarnated Mrs Beeton. I love your recipes, especially the one to spice up a chicken that was to be roasted.
Dear xlaurabx, Try soaking the dried fruit for a fruit cake overnight in rum, or when a cake is cooked, do as BBWCHATT suggests and spike the cake then pour spirit over it. If you are making a celebration cake, do it several times over a few weeks. Cheers!

Rozthatwas -

How kind you are to say that honey!!!

I have always enjoyed reading - and too often saving/retaining - recipes and anything related to cooking/eating. It makes me happy when I am able to help someone with a small problem in that area:)
