A complete baking fail - Fairtrade Chocolate fairy cakes

Yesterday I was all set for a busy day baking and catching up after a fab weekend at The Mad Blog awards in London.  

I was all set to make some fab chocolate fairy cakes for the Tots100 Big fairtrade bake challenge using fairtrade cocoa, but it seems the world was conspiring against me and the power failed as I put them in the oven to cook and instead of having light and airy fairy cakes,  I had soggy sloppy messes! 

 I went to make more, but realised that I had run out of margarine, so no cakes for me and mine last night.  However, today has been much better


Ingredients

6oz of marg
6oz of caster sugar
2 eggs
5oz of self raising flour 
1oz of  fairtrade cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 
half teaspoon of baking powder
3 teaspoons of milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Cream the sugar and marg together, then add the rest of the ingredients. 
Put in to case cases and cook for 15 minutes.

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab. So in conjunction with Ecoforce I have a year's supply of green cleaning and washing up wonder products worth £50 comprising the following: EcoForce Peg Basket x 1 EcoForce Clothes Line x1 EcoForce Pegs x 2 packs Several of each of: EcoForce sponges, scourer...
