Something that went down well at the last FNRttC to Whitstable:

Sticky Carrot and Marmalade Cake

200g Wholemeal flour
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking powder
40g butter or Stork
50g dark muscovado sugar
225g grated carrots
50g seedless raisins
4 tbsp ginger marmalade (Waitrose do a nice one)
1 beaten egg
4 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 170c/Gas 3.
Mix flour, ginger and baking powder.
Rub in the fat until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir in the sugar, carrots and raisins.
Mix three tbsp of the marmalade with the egg and the milk.
Add this to the dry ingredients.
Stir well and transfer to a greased and base-lined 23x10cm loaf tin.
Bake for 50mins until firm to the touch and golden.
Turn out to cool.
While it's still warm, brush the top with the remaining 1 tbsp of marmalade.
Wrap in foil and store for two days before cutting.

ENJOY!

Sounds good might give that a go thanks.

A recipes board would be really useful, this could be the opening thread !

This was suggested by Ianrauk, too and I have submitted the request to Admin in the Feedback thread!

A recipe for disaster if ever there was...

Was there not a thread a year or so ago relating to Cathryn's Mum's flapjack recipe? (well - I know there was/is...) and various contributions embedded within.

I think the Section could be called 'Cathryns Mum' - recipes is just too 'measured' and be subdivided; snacks * starters* mains* biscuits * cakes * gluttony * Other *

Great stuff Charlie thanks, always after new recipes and there are some proper foodies on here.

Sorry guys, we'll have to keep them here - Admin sez a section of its own's a bit OTT.

Clearly not a foody! What could be more important than cycling and the enjoyment of the stuff that allows us to cycle?!!

There is this recipe thread: why can't it be bumped and made a sticky on Café, then? In fact, I think I'll bump it myself...

Incidentally, whilst on the topic of 'sticky's, why are the ancient "Jersey Relay" threads 'sticky'd on Café? Surely they belong more properly on CC Informal Rides...
