Guest post: Mix and melt cake from Sammie from The Annoyed Thyroid

October 20, 2016 by Shari Leave a Comment

So remember last month when I hosted the ‘Ultimate Rabbit Hole’ for Sammie from The Annoyed Thyroid? Well, today – whilst I take a little down time – she is repaying the favour with a wonderful guest post in which she shares her recipe for a delicious mix and melt cake. 

So who is Sammie?

I’m Sam. I used to live in London but now I call Sydney home. I’m living in my favourite city on Earth.

I’m married to David who is all kinds of awesome. He loves me even more than Manchester United, tastes my cakes, drives me places, and is the world’s ficklest eater.

I have no kids and no thyroid but  my life is full.

Since turning 40, I’ve had cancer twice, lost 20kg and run five half marathons, the most recent of which was in  Disneyland. I am living proof that anything is possible.

Think Sammie is your type of girl? You can check here out on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pintrest.

MIX AND MELT CAKE

1 ½ cups (210g) self-raising flour
1/2 cup (115g) sugar
2/3 cup (60g) desiccated coconut
1/2 cup (125g) butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup (60ml) milk
1-2 teaspoons vanilla essence

185g icing sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons water
20g shredded coconut, optional

Preheat oven to 180 C (160 C fan-forced.) Grease a 20cm cake tin and line with baking paper.

Combine the flour, sugar and coconut in a large bowl.

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before beating in the eggs and milk. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well.

Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

When the cake is cool, make the icing. Combine icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and add small amounts of water gradually until smooth.

Drizzle over the cake and sprinkle with coconut, if desired.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
