yesterday i made lime, coconut and ginger cake. it was good and i made it without a recipe! just from my head, amazin.
heres the recipe if u want to ever try it:
For the cake:
2-3 Tesco sponge mixes
150ml of water
2 eggs
2-3 teaspoons of ground ginger
packet of desicated coconut
For the icing:
1 lime
packet of icing suger
vinnila esscence
butter or other
ok, first get a mixing bowl. then put in the sponge mixes, eggs (without shell) and 150ml of water, mix it together, using beaters or a spoon.
Then add some coconut, how much you use is up to you, it depends on how coconuty you want it. i used like 4 tablespoons.
put in the ginger, how much again is up to you.
beat it again, make sure the mixture is not to runny or thick, when you move the spoon and make ripples in the mixture, the ripples should move slowly back in.
now grease the pan, either use a big flat rectangle dish like 25cm x 38cm or a round cake pan. the cake will rise to about 8-10cm. grease the pan with butter, thickly, as oil is not thick enough.
put it on on 5, and leave it there for 30-40 mins.
after the cake is golden brown take it out and leave to cool.
for the icing : wash up the mixing bowl and dry it, put in a few big heaped spoons of butter, and shake in some icing suger enough that wud go over the cake, mix together slowly till it forms a paste, squezze the lime and put the juice in, add the vanilia essence, stir it till its the right consistancy, and put it on the cake.
now wait till the icing hard and eat it!
