Chocolate Carrot and Ginger Slice

One way to use up leftover icing from store-bought cake mixes.

I've made the family's favourite apple slice a couple of times now but after purchasing two vanilla cake mixes I ended up with unused packets of icing. I asked my Aunt what she did with the icing, only to be told that I could buy vanilla cake mixes without the icing mix!

However, I can't buy a gluten-free cake mix without the icing so I started to investigate gluten-free recipes where I could use the icing. And this was the result: a chocolate carrot and ginger slice.

Fruit Pudding Cake

A Christmas pudding reconstructed as a layered cake!

Milestone celebrations call for something special! Hubby's Brother asked me to cook a Christmas pudding for their mother's 90th birthday celebration. With 20 guests I needed to double the quantity of the ingredients and, because we weren't having a cake, I decided to turn the pudding into a cake.
