However I still have this one and others called 'Mixer and Blender Cooking' and the 'Home Baking'.<br />Tom's (son) two favourite cakes are lemon and ginger so I shall definitely be making this for him.<br />My flapjack and one stage fruit cake recipes come from tese books.<br />many of my pages are semi-stuck together from where the kids used to help me bake.<br /><br />Superb trip down memory lane. Merci beaucoup.

The Sainsburys books were interesting - I thought some were pretty good while others were a little odd to say the least. This book, I think, was the best. I've dipped into it quite a few times over the last 30 years but I've never made this cake and now I think I should have. It sounds very good indeed. <br />Mr Binns won the title of Sunday Times Best Amateur Cook in Britain back in 1977 and wrote several books in the years that followed but, apart from a repackaged version of this book, I think this may have been the last book he published. That's a shame - we could do with more cheap, practical and interesting books like this.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-7808733257762737742012-12-18T20:40:49.536+00:002012-12-18T20:40:49.536+00:00What a fabulous recipe.

I've got a pile of lemons lined up to make lemon marmalade this weekend, ostensibly as Christmas gifts, but some of it might just find it's way into this cake.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-17216273308471625162012-12-18T16:42:33.021+00:002012-12-18T16:42:33.021+00:00Two of my favourite flavors!
