dave999. It depends on ingredients. metric cup butter is equal to 250g but metric cup meal is equal to 110g.
the weight will be different depending on the product - liquid is 250gms, but nuts and other dry ingredients change due to their mass or shape. im making this cake for a morning tea! cant wait, sounds delish x
I'm going to make this delicous looking cake tonight, though an Aussie metric cup is 250gms, not 100gms. I'll repost results.
really easy and didnt need too many ingredients - easy as ... super moist - and stayed moist ! making again now!
This is my absolute favourite cake recipe ever! It's so easy to make, and absolutely delicious, without being overpowering! I originally found it in mum's cook book. I even tricked my boyfriend into eating it.. and now he's not so skeptical about gluten free foods! Lovely!
being a chef for many years , what is lacking in the recipes book are books that cater for 50 servies or 100 servies i canot find any bok on the market why doesant w.w produce a book of this nature it would be a great seller ,i think the book should go back to basic with main soups and desserts . or do you know of a book on the market thanks .
I usually manage to stuff up most things that I make because I have a terrible oven, but this work out perfectly. It was rich and moist and absolutely delicious. My other half unfortunately doesn't really like dark chocolate so it wasn't to his taste, I on the other hand looooved it.
beautifully moist ,very rich, can easily serve 10, keeps extremely well
whoa how great is this cake easy to make and not to many ingredients
IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS YUM, AND NOT TOO HARD TO MAKE.
