The girls from JAK have put up a new recipe.

LAMINGTONS

Ingredients:

• Canola Spray
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cups caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 3/4 cups plain white flour
• 1/4 cup cornflour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 80g canola spread
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 cup icing sugar
• 1/3 cup desiccated coconut

Method:

Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease and line base of a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.

Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Add sugar and half of the vanilla.

Beat until thick and creamy. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornflour and baking powder. Add to egg mixture, then carefully fold through 60g melted dairy blend.

Pour cake mixture into prepared tin and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire cake rack to cool. Cut into 20 squares. Meanwhile to make icing, dissolve cocoa in 1/3 cup boiling water. Place icing sugar in a medium size bowl. Add cocoa mixture, remaining canola blend and remaining vanilla essence. Stir well to combine.

Using a fork, skewer each cake square then spoon over warm icing to coat. Lightly sprinkle with coconut, then arrange on a lined baking tray and set aside.

Here’s a Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Makes 12 large pieces.

• 175g butter, coarsely chopped

• 175g dark cooking chocolate coarsely chopped

• 1½ cups caster sugar

• 4 eggs, lightly beaten

• ½ cup plain flour

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• ½ cup chocolate chips

• Icing sugar to dust

1. Heat oven to 160ºC fan bake. Line a 17cm x 27cm slice tin with nonstick baking paper.

2. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, to melt. Whisk until smooth, then stir in sugar and eggs.

3. Sift flour and cocoa powder together, then stir into chocolate mixture. Lastly, gently stir in chocolate chips.

4. Pour into prepared tin. Bake for 1 hour or until an inserted skewer comes out moist but clean. Cool, then remove from tin and cut into slices. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Tip: If you want to add something extra to this mixture, stir half a cup of toasted nuts – such as peanuts, almonds or walnuts – into the mixture before baking or replace the chocolate chips with white chocolate bits for a change.

At the moment weet-bix is running a promotion by putting rugby cards inside each pack. At the moment we are in 11th place. With 3120 points recorded. That's 312 cards you guys have put forward so thanks heaps but we want to push up the ranks to the top 10, which would mean more sports gear. If you don't want your cards please leave them in the office so that they can be logged on and submitted for the school. If you want to keep your cards you can either support the school by registering them online at www.weetbix.co.nz or hand your cards to Finlay, Matt or Matthew and they will write down the code and give the card back to you. Good work guys and keep handing those cards in!!
