Remember it's usually fruit for dessert, supper is light in most homes and no one eats breakfast! WW, my freezer's not that big; it's a normal sized British fridge-freezer. I freeze lamb chops in bags of two and they don't take up so much room. Hi, Shirl, I know you are busy planning a move so thanks for coming over. Will be over to you later.

(Crush up sliced canned pineapple if you can't get the crushed.<BR/><BR/>In a bowl, mix 1 cup of plain flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 teasoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon each sal and cinnamon and 3/4 cup sugar. Add 2 eggs and 5 tablespoons vegetable oil. Mix well. Stir in the grated carrot, crushed pineapple and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Bake in a moderate oven 350F (175C) for 35-40 minutes. Cool before topping. <BR/><BR/>Cream Cheese topping: place in a bowl 3tbls butter, 3tbls cream cheese, 1/2 tspn vanilla, 1/2lb (250g) icing sugar and beat very well. Iff too thick, add a small amount of milk or lemon juice to give a smooth consistency.<BR/><BR/>I rarely ice mine. I used to make 12 times the quantity and sell by the slice in my shop...and if I make it nowadays, I always double or quadruple the quantity. As I said previously, it is a very good freezing cake and it's a moist cake, Welsh. I think you will like it.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-72171073215112754412007-02-26T23:43:00.000+01:002007-02-26T23:43:00.000+01:00Hi, Sally.

I don't know if you can get canned crushed pineapple or pineapple pieces there but I've got a great recipe for a carrot and pineapple cake. I sent it to Liz a couple of months ago. If you would like it, I'll give it to you. It's a very simple cake and it freezes very well, if the need arises.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-87292622016045677842007-02-26T22:05:00.000+01:002007-02-26T22:05:00.000+01:00Carrot and coriander my favourite soup.... and har...Carrot and coriander my favourite soup.... and hardly any calories... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
