Add one cup of flour and fruit mix.  Mix well and pour into a sponge roll tin.

 

Bake at 160 to 180 degrees Celcius 20 to 25 mins.  I found 20 mins long enough.  I had the oven at 160 with the fan.

 

Test for doneness with a skewer in the centre of the slice.

Easy-cook Recipes

I have been collecting a few easy-cook recipes, but I tend to loose sight of them in all the clutter of things I try to do on my computer. Here is a good place to bring them all together and focus my attention on them for a few minutes, in the hope that, when I need them, I will also be able to quickly and easily find them and know where to look first!

My first recipe is an all-time family favourite, with a new twist - cooking method uses microwave oven.

Savoury Mince

This is a very quick and easy recipe, that you can do from memory, once you've done it once or twice. And the end result is always delicious and well received.
