Cranberry Mini Cake

I have a tub of plain yoghurt sitting in the fridge. I tried using some to make chicken pie for my dad and still some leftover so I used it up to make this cranberry cake. Thanks to Gina of KitchenCapers as I got this recipe from her and I have only made it once before. This will be the second time making it again. Jonathan ate quite a few but he dug up all the cranberry and gave it to his dad. Jon is like that, he will dig up all the fruits in the konnayku jelly and only eat the jelly. Strange boy.

LeeLee, I found that if you use the Dried Cranberries from Ocean Spray, USA, you may need to reduce the sugar more. Its sweeter than the ones from Carrefour or other brands, may need to add more sugar. Try this cake recipe with Bailey Cream..also very good. :)

Looks really good. Sometimes I too have a tub of yoghurt or milk sitting in the fridge ... I really hate to waste but sometimes really no time to bake at all.

Hmm, yumm,...
May want to substitute the margarine with butter coz hydrogenated fat is bad for you

The margarine is only for oiling the moulds. You can use butter to oil it too. For me, I used oil.

Hi Serene, just use my swissroll recipe to bake the swissroll. You can either fill it up with whipped cream, buttercream or jam and roll it up into a swissroll. Use more whipped cream to cream logcake and decorate as appropriate. This is how I do mine too.

Hi,

Is it okay for me to ask some questions with regard to your buttercake recipe?

If I don’t want to use self raising flour, just the normal plain flour, how many grams should I measure and do I need to add baking soda? May I know is there a reason to use evaporated milk instead of fresh milk?

Thanks so much!

Thank you LeeLee for yr preious advise.

Hi Amateur,

If you are replacing with plain flour you use 1 tsp of baking powder to 250g of flour.

Reason for using evaporated milk is because it gives a richer taste to the buttercake as opposed to using freshmilk.
