5. Recipes for Cakes
Important
The cakes produced in this breadmaker will
not rise to fill the pan completely, they will be
approximately 55mm (2”) tall. The standard
cake is a Madeira type which is moist, rich and
dense in texture. Adjustments to the recipe
may be required for personal taste - less
butter and sugar to reduce the richness, less
water and/or eggs to reduce moisture.
Variations
Cherries - 1/2 cup cherries halved (wash
thoroughly to remove the excess syrup) and
allow them to drain and dry on absorbent
paper; or mixed fruit - 1/2 cup or chocolate
chips - 1/4 cup Add any of these variations
into the breadpan last, on top of the other
ingredients.
