Surprise Cake

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008
What an amazing chocolatey flavor! Everybody loved this cake and nobody guessed the secret ingredient (one of the guests thought it had Pepsi in it!) I used the recipe without making any changes. It was easier than I thought from my first read-through and I'll definitely be making it again. I didn't make the frosting but I'll try it next time. Great cake!

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2008
I wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars! I'm a Brit and had never even tasted coconut cream pie before, let alone made one! My step-daughter wanted one for her birthday and - never one to shy from a challenge - I checked here for a recipe I thought I could go with. Having read the wonderful reviews, I amended the recipe as follows: I used a whole can of coconut milk and made it up to 3 cups with 1/2 and 1/2. I used 2 eggs plus a yolk, replaced the flour with 1/2 cup of cornstarch and followed TRISKELE's advise and microwaved the custard (5 1/2 minutes, whisking well after every minute - so easy and worked like a dream.) I only toasted the coconut for the topping (couldn't find the frozen stuff so I used the bagged kind) and I agree with Julie - don't spoil this wonderful pie with CoolWhip! Get your mixer out and whip up a carton of cream with 2 tbls of confectioners sugar and a teaspoon of the best vanilla essence you can find. CRXGURL said there's a bit too much custard so I used a 10" graham cracker crust - the custard quantity was perfect and we got an extra slice of pie! My step-daughter was over the moon and I'm sure I'll be making this many more times in the future. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

Carrot Cake III

Reviewed: Jul. 24, 2008
Wow - the cake was simply the best I've ever tasted! The icing was too sweet for me, but that's just personal preference. 5 STARS!

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2008
Amazing recipe - I doubled it to get more cookies! In future I would add more ginger - my guests said they could taste the cinnamon but not the ginger.

Ninety Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Reviewed: May 4, 2008
I tried baking it in a pan instead of in a muffin tray and it turns out beautifully.One comment thought I might add that this dough is incredibly wet when I tried to knead it,so I ended up adding perhaps another half of cup of flour.Great recipe!Delish

Creamy Caramel Flan

Reviewed: May 4, 2008
This is an incredibly easy recipe to make and it turned out a hit my friend's BBQ party.I didn't bother with the towel trick and it cooked to perfection although the top cracked a little bit.This is most probably because the recipe didn't specify to cover the dish with aluminum foil like other flan recipe.So,will try to cover it next time.Great recipe ta!

Fabulous. I doubled the quantities, which may have affected the cooking time a little.

Aunt Joyce's Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Mar. 10, 2008
Well, I had to make this cake when I saw the ingredients, it was just so unusual! It looked fantastic, tasted chocolatey (I used the cocoa powder and oil) but the texture was slightly rubbery. However it didn't detract much from the cake, nearly all my family loved it!

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed: Sep. 18, 2007
Wow. I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out perfect - even on an electric hob without a candy thermometer. Thanks to those other reviewers who gave tips about fudge-making. - couldn't have done it without you! Perfect consistency fudge, creamy delicious flavour and texture. The only reason I've not given this recipe 5 stars is because there is more detail required in the recipe, mainly with regard to the sugar crystals, timings and temperatures. Many thanks though - this should give my fiance enough energy as quick snacks throughout his triathlon this weekend!
