again, sort of cheating here, baking not really 'cooking' but it is christmas after all....
made some jumble cake for a christmas present for a friend who loves it ( you know who you are!), it's been fun making and packaging it so i am going to give it to some others as well, like my grandpa who is impossibly hard to buy for.....
JUMBLE CAKE
(this must be our family recipe, because i've never had anything like it outside of my family, and no, it isn't like hedgehog cake at all)
ingredients:
250g soft butter
2 cups caster sugar
2 eggs
2 cups desiccated coconut
4 dessert spoons cocoa
2 cups SR flour
method:
cream butter/sugar
add eggs
then gradually add dry ingredients
spread across a lamington tray with the back of a spoon, don't go all the way to the edges. bake 170c until beginning to firm up (about 45 mins). cool in tray. ice with choc icing and cut before completely cold (otherwise it gets really hard to cut!)
Your family aren't Kiwis are they? Jumble is a deep south NZ thing - http://dnosauria.net/2009/07/12/nana%E2%80%99s-jumble-recipe/
