Baking

My baking skills are rather limited but I do enjoy making traybakes.
Here is on I made this morning. It is called Matilda cake.
The recipe is from a book called Treats for Teatime published by the Cumbrian Federation of Womens’s Institutes.

In case you would like to try it here is the recipe.

10 oz of Self raising flour
4 oz of sugar
6 oz of butter or margarine
2 desertspoons of Golden Syrup
2 oz of chopped glace cherries
4 oz Sultanas.

I also add a couple of tablespoons of milk.

Melt the margarine and syrup in a pan ; mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl with the milk:
Stir in the melted liquid; Mix well;  press into an 11 inch x 7 inch Swiss Roll tin. Bake for 25 minutes at 350F or 170 C.

Just right for those friends who come round for tea.
