To a cup of the sourdough was added warm water, flour, bi-carb, sugar and cinnamon and this was mixed to a batter and place in a greased & lined square cake tin:
In another bowl I mixed some flour, butter, honey,sugar,cinnamon and rolled oats into a thick paste:
The paste was spread over the cake batter and baked for 35mins at 170c
Yumm is all I can say! :)
The two cuties below are our two elder grandsons Zane (on the right) and Angus); they are enjoying a treat my grandmother used to give me: fresh bread spread with jam and whipped cream. I love the sense of continuity this picture brings to me-my grandmother passed away 23 years ago, yet at moments like these I feel her beside me still. I hope to develop that sort of relationship with my own grandchildren.
Your cake looks wonderful, I love my sourdough baby, but have never tried a cake.. if you would care to share, what are the amounts of the ingredients, I would love to try this..
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
DeleteI'm trying to find the recipe I used online again and can't seem to! Will let you know as soon as I do.....
I based it on this recipe:

I didn't use raisins or nuts and for the topping substituted rolled oats for nuts & mixed the topping woth the butter to make a paste rather than dotting it over. Didn't bother with the glaze either!
I grew up on jam and cream on bread...my Dad used to have it most nights if mum hadnt made a 'proper' dessert....I still see him sitting there, cutting it into triangles at the head of the table...such a great memory of him..simple, but so lovely.
