This is the cake I make when we have none left and MasterShoestring is urgently in need of some. It doers not need any eggs or margarine so is ideal when the cupboard is barer than usual !
2 cups self raising flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
lemon juice and sugar to top
Mix the first 4 ingredients together and place in a greased 9in cake pan. Bake in a 180C oven for 30 -40 minutes or until brown. As soon as it comes out of the oven scatter sugar all over the top and then sprinkle enough lemon juice on top to cover the sugar.
Leave to cool and enjoy !
Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes, MasterShoestring has been slipping into the cupboard for extra so it's nearly all gone !
ReplyDeleteI've just copied this recipe out. Going to bake this at the weekend. Just want to say how great is that you update your blog everyday. Julie. S. Wales
ReplyDeleteDear Julie,
ReplyDeleteThat was so great to see your comment! I do find that I need a dose of frugal inspiration everyday otherwise the temptation to spend money on things we don't need can be quite high !
