Credit where credit is due…. i noticed a Thrifted Tuesday post on this lovely blog. So for those of you at a loss as to what to do on Tuesday.. I think it would be nice to post a thrifty find… and perhaps this idea originated somewhere else… which is lovely too.
I’ll be posting late tomorrow night…
Get thrifty… and remember.. credit where credit is due!
“Paper String Cloth’s Basic Tea Cake
ingredients:
60g butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla essence
2/3 cup caster or fine white sugar
(you can actually use any sugar you want)
1 egg
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup milk.
cream the butter and sugar, and add egg, a little at a time, beating in as you go. Gradually stir in the flour and the milk, alternating between them, and beat until fluffy. grease your cake tin, throw in the mixture, and bake for 30 mins in a moderate oven. That’s the basics, I usually add some cinnamon, top the cake with apple slices and raw sugar, or put half the mixture in the tin, top with custard, then the rest of the mixture, so the custard bakes in the middle….mmmmmmm”
