Answer 2

Warm pineapple upside-down cake will melt in your mouth. This recipe serves about eight.


Ingredients:
2 tsp. plus 1/4 c. softened butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
8 oz. canned pineapple - drained
6 maraschino cherries - halved
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. milk
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. finely chopped or grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. lemon juice


Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Melt 2 tsp. butter in a 9-inch round cake pan.

3. Stir in the brown sugar and 1 tbsp. water.

4. Arrange the pineapple (cubes or slices) and cherries evenly in the pan, in any design you like.

5. Set the pan aside.

6. Stir the flour, sugar and baking powder into a medium mixing bowl.

7. Add milk and the remaining butter, along with the egg and the vanilla.

8. Add the lemon zest, cinnamon and lemon juice.

9. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are basically combined, then beat on medium speed for about a minute.

10. Transfer the batter into the pan containing the pineapple. Be careful that you don't disturb your fruit design.

11. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

12. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.

13. Loosen the cake from the sides of the pan and turn over onto a plate.

14. Serve warm.

Answer 3

Fruit Creme Brule.

You need a large round dish that can go under the grill. Line the base with a selection of fruit (soft fruit that wont be too wet) I use sliced banana, kiwi fruit and melon, it is yummy. Put a layer of small Ratafia biscuits (small almond biccys) over the top, not too many. Cover with a reasonably deep layer of Creme Fraiche and then sprinkle the top of that with soft brown sugar and then (not too long before you want to serve) put under a hot grill until the sugar is all melted - leave to stand somewhere cool so the sugar hardens and becomes crisp. Very easy and very yummy. The amounts don't have to be exact so you could do it in individual ramekins if you wanted, which would be really sweet.

Answer 4

We like to make banana pudding during the summer. All you have to do is layer vanilla pudding, vanilla wafers, and bananas. Keep repeating the layers until you fill the bowl. It's easier to use the instant pudding. My 13 yr old daughter just made this for a Fourth of July cookout. It disappeared in no time!

Answer 5

Depends on what you mean by cooking.

If like me you mean different stuff out of a packet...

Tescos make some really nice (and cheap) icecream £3 for two tubs - Mintilicious is really, really nice. A scoop each of two or three diffent varieties is nice.

Try mixing stuff. Some crushed digestives, topped with melted chocolate (cool the chocolate) then Angel Deligt/Instant mousse and a blob of cream (or squirty cream) on top. All simple, stuff but put together? Yummy.

Answer 6

U can make a victoria sponge cake in a microwave, do the same as u wud for a normal one, it might be an idea to put oil in, instead of butter. Put some jam or fruit in and walla a sponge cake in 20mins or less depending on yiour microwave.

Answer 7

Make a normal sponge in a baking try, leave to cool, spread with strawberry jam or marmalade, cover the top is dessicated coconut, serve with custard....

Old school classic pudding!!

Answer 8

Eton mess. Raspberries (i actually prefer strawberries), merengue and whipped cream.
Crumble up the merengues, chop the strawberries and at the last minute bung it all together in martinis glasses. Gorgeous and looks like you made loads of effort.
Don't do this ahead of time though or the merengue goes a bit manky!

Answer 9

really easy cheesecake
50g butter in saucepan, melt it. Add about 7 or 8 crushed digestives and mix together. tip it into a 7" or 9" baking tray and flatten it down. pop it into the fridge. make some angel delight (whatever flavour floats your boat, we normally have chocolate). pour angel delight on cold hardened digestives. done! we crumble flakes on the top to make it really chocy or put tinned mandarins for chocolate orange!

Answer 10

Strawberries drizzled with a tiny amount of balsamic vinegar and then dust them over with icing sugar. Delicious, and very quick. Just nice for this hot weather.
