Lemon Curd Cake and Twinks

Realised i didn't actually post the recipes and i always lose them so best i put them on here.

Lemon Curd Cake
100g margarine
75g castor sugar 
2 eggs 
175g self-raising flour
1 jar lemon curd

Heat the oven to 180  degrees. Grease /line a  loaf tin 
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix together till binded.
Then pour the cake mixture into the loaf tin and  level the top so its straightish. 
Place in oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes until browned.



I use granulated sugar instead of castor, as that's what i had in.
Oh and value lemon curd so its works out really cheap to make. Think its comes out at less than 50p to make the cake. Tastes lovely hot but also great for pack lunches.


Twinks  are like hob nobs and i got the recipe off the Money Saving Expert website. A member off there made this recipe up and they are so moreish hence the name Twinks.

(220g)8oz sr flour
(220g)8oz sugar
(220g) 8oz porridge oats
(8oz)  margarine

1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp bic soda

mix flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan stir in bic soda and add to dry mix, mix well, make smallish balls and put on greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork, 180oc for 15 mins, cool on the tray, you just want them golden in oven not brown.






When the twinks come out of the oven they are quite squidgy  but after a couple of minutes cooling they harden. Beware they are diet killers. I think i got about 30 out of the mix. oh and leave plenty of space between them on the tray as they spread out when cooking.
