Or perhaps I should say Susie cake! At Tesco shopping with Mum when Susannah called asking me for the recipe for this cake which we call Marieke Cake after our lovely friend from Ermelo in the Netherlands. When she came to stay with us for three months while improving her English and working at the hospital in Aberdeen, she brought the cake she had made using her grandmother's recipe. I've made it so often that I know the recipe off by heart 😄😄
Susannah is learning Dutch and wanted to make the cake to take to her conversation group......and they loved it!
Three good things
1. Coffee and cakes with Mum and her lovely friend before supermarket time!
2. Memories.....good to remember things by heart and the people we learned them from!
3. Technology to share info so easily....and to see good results.

Thank you for your lovely comments
The cake is a spicy one and made in a ring tin so it cooks quite quickly and as long as the tin is well buttered and flour evenly sprinkled on tin before the mixture goes in, it works well.
250g SR flour, 250g dark brown sugar, 1tsp baking soda, 1 tsp of mixed spice, pinch salt, sultanas /raisins...1 or 2 handfuls!, 250 mls milk, 1 tbsp yoghurt.
Mix flour, sugar, b.soda, spices and salt well. Add dried fruit then milk and finally yoghurt.
Bake in med oven for 25-30 mins. Turn out onto rack and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Enjoy!
