Looking for Children's Cake Recipe

Asked on 15 Oct 2018 by Janice

Hello Lindsey
I have searched everywhere for Delia's recipe "Children's cake" but to no avail. It was a traybake sponge which I made often when my children were small. They are now grown but I wanted to make it again recently. I have all her books but alas cannot find it in those either. Can you help me please or suggest a similar sponge recipe which could be adapted. I liked this recipe in particular because the texture and amount of batter were perfect for my requirements. Thank you for any advice or guidance you can give me.

Using Muscovado sugar in the Christmas Cake

Asked on 15 Oct 2018 by Sara

Hi Lindsey, Could I use dark muscovado sugar in place of dark soft brown sugar in the Christmas pudding recipe? And if yes, would I use the same amount? Thanks a million.
