Coconut treacle tart.

Good afternoon Readers,

I do hope you are well and are enjoying this amazing weather for April.

I had some left over shortcrust pastry left from when i made a pie for tea and as i don't like to waste things i decided to make some Coconut treacle tarts,these are so easy to make and can be made in just 15 min's and the best thing is that even the youngest kids can help make.Keep reading to find out how.....

 First we cut out the pastry and put them in the tart cases,Then we put foil in and put in baking beans to blind bake for 10min's then leave to cool before removing (they get VERY hot)

   Then i whizzed up 2 slices of bread (crusts included) and popped it in a bowl then added 2tbs of coconut and 8tbs of golden syrup and 1tbs of treacle and then gave it a good mix (Tip.Pop your tablespoon/ spatula in a mug of hot water then it will glid through the stickyness) then i poured the mix into the prebaked cases and then popped it in the oven for 15min's. 

 Once cooked and left to cool down i popped them on a plate and served with a big dollop of fresh cream.

It tasted amazing and would make a ideal after dinner treat.

Thank you for taking a look i do hope you will give it a try,If you do please pop back and let me know what you thought of it.So until next time stay lucky x

Fresh pineapple upside down cake.

Good Evening readers,

I had picked up a fresh pineapple(skinned) reduced to just 5p in tescos the other night and wondered what i could make with it after lots of uming and oohing me and the kids decided pineapple upside down cake was the winner so off Miss Molly and Bib set to work.

Here is how they got on.......

First they measured out 50g of brown sugar and 50g of butter then they whisked them both till light and fluffy then they spread it over the base of a lined 9in cake tin.

Bottom layer.

Next they measured out 100g of each s/r flour,butter and caster sugar and 1tsp baking powder and vanilla.
Then whisked the butter and sugar together till light and fluffy next they added the eggs slowly and the vanilla then beat well then sieve in the flour and fold in,

Eggtastic.

Now Bib sliced the pineapple and spread them over the sugar mix in the cake tin (you are meant to put a cherry in each hold but we forgot!!)
then spread the cake mix over the top.

Ready for the oven.

Next they popped it in the oven for 20/25 Min's (use a toothpick to check). 

Cooked and ready.

Once cooked leave to cool then turn out on a plate slice it and serve with custard or cream yummy.

MM yummy
