Hi all.
When I was a little girl I made a pineapple upside down cake for my mum at school. She loved it. I'd like to make her another one for mothers day. I have been looking at recipies online. I'm sure however, that when I made it as a little girl, we used golden syrup at some point. The recipies I've been looking at don't have that as an ingredient. I'm sure we put them underneath the pineapple rings? I was just wondering if anybody else had heard of this, or the golden syrup as an ingredient, or did I just get confussed?

You genius, thank you! I did google, but randomly clicked the links. I must have missed that one, obviously. Thanks again!

If you type in "pineapple upside down cake" and "golden syrup" with the quotation marks, you'll get the right results. Quotation marks in Google make all the difference.

Oooh, I haven't had pineapple USD cake for eons. I want some now.



My friend at the match last night had been making peppermint creams - I haven't had those for ages either and now have an urge to make some at the weekend.

The food and drink forum is pretty comprehensive and I don't want to clutter it up - is there a thread for favourite cake recipes?

I love lemon drizzle and the variations lime, lemon and lime, orange etc. I plan to try it with grapefruit - could be interesting.

I also love baking carrot cake and banana cake - all those lovely moist nursery cakes.

I have a couple of old cookery books - given to me by my aged aunt: one was given to her as an engagement present. It was written by Marguerite Patten and the recipes are fascinating, no all-in-one recipes, it's cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs a little at a time etc. Time consuming but therapeutic and I must confess I think the old methods produce the lightest Victoria sponges etc and the recipe for Apple and Walnut cake is a winner.

The other book came with her first cooker - New World and gas. It's hard to believe that such comprehensive cookery books were given free with an appliance.

I often refer to it - therein lies the receipe I always use for Christmas cake and all those other cakes I remember from childhood; simnel cake, pound cake, seed cake, dundee and madeira cake - so many.

The smell of baking evokes memories of my childhood in much the same sense as the perfume of flowers, or a snatch of a song or hymn remembered from a school assembly.

Yes there is a baking thread somewhere - think it's called cookies and buns or something.
There's also a low fat cake one - which didn't get many replies (but that makes sense to me, coz if your gona have cake you may as well HAVE CAKE and go all out!)

ON the pineapple upside down cake front - I'm sure Matey, or Mantley, or whassisname will hotfoot straight over here with a recipe for ya.

This cake always reminds me of my school days. We had this for dessert all the time usually with lumpy custard still ate the lot though and any extra too . What i really liked about it compared to the other desserts is that the pinapple instantly used to put half the kids off so there was always plenty of spares .
