Six of us started the Baden-Powell Trefoil, the highest award in Guiding, but I was the only one in the 1st Wolstonbury Rural Company to finish it, and even got my picture in the local paper.

I had to do many different tasks for the award, including first aid, community work, learning about Europe, etc., but after a couple of years the mission was achieved!

Take:

• 1/2 pat butter (butter/margarine mixture)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 dessert-spoon drinking chocolate powder

Meltall the above ingredients down in a large saucepan, on the lowest heat possible. SUGGESTION: Towards the end of melting time, try adding Maltesers!

Take:

• about 3/4 large packet of digestive biscuits

Bash them up, and stir in until liquid is no longer sticking to the sides.

Butter a medium sized baking/roasting tray (any shape), and throw the mixture in. Flatten with the back of a spoon.

Take:

• A 200g bar of FAIR TRADE milk chocolate (or more if you wish).

Melt it for a couple of minutes (max) in the microwave, and spread over the top.

Allow the chocolate to set (it can be placed in the freezer if you wish it to take less time!)

The cake is then ready to eat: Beware, it’s very rich!

This recipe is great for any occasion, it is quick to thrown together, and is not too expensive! You can experiment with other than digestives. I’ve tried Rich Tea biscuits, and my mother likes muesli. We have also tried the added ingredient of Maltesers – that works pretty well. Tell me your ideas.

Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F, Gas 4).

Take 2 loaf tins, or a couple of bun tins and wipe with butter, then sprinkle with flour. (Or line with foil)

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until just mixed. Add the oil, sugars, vanilla, lemon juice, and mashed bananas.

Pour three-quarters of the banana mixture into the well in the flour, and stir with a rubber spatula.

Gradually draw in the dry ingredients, adding the remaining banana mixture, and stirring to make a smooth batter.
TAKE CARE: Do not overstir the batter or the bread will be heavy.

Spoon the batter into the prepared tins. The tins should be about half full.

Bake the loaves in the heated oven until the loaves start to shrink from the sides of the tins and a metal skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, 40-60 minutes.

Let the loaves cool, then you can eat!
