Ok been busy painting today and the weekend is running away and I have been promising meself a bit of baking , so here goes with a nice bit of comfort grub .
Ingredients
150 gms of butter
150 gms of caster sugar
200 gms of self raising flour
3 fresh eggs
2 heaped tea spoons of cocoa
+ small carton of double thick fresh cream
a little orange oil for flavouring the cream + some caster sugar.
Gentlemen start your ovens 170 deg
Cream up the butter + sugar together like so then add the eggs.
Then sieve the flour and cocoa powder in like so and fold in ( gently )
Divide equally into 2 ....... 8 inch flan tins like so , then into the oven for 25 mins
Then with any luck will come out like so
Ive put mine on the cool breeze coming through the window while I whip up the cream to make it nice and thick .
Now I bought myself one of these in the £1 shop , thought it was a right bargain till I used it ,, you will see in a minute . In the meantime I have spread a nice thick layer of cream on the bottom layer, like so .
Here we are a bit arty farty on the top , but its delicious ,, there will be a ( tiny ) bit of that going in my lunchbox for work on Monday .
Cheers happy baking !
