The first cake under the cake section. There is some lovely stories in the Edmonds Classics about it. Ben had never tasted Banana Cake before coming to New Zealand. I weekend memory for Denise and a most used recipe by Marion.
Here is the online recipe: EDMONDS BANANA CAKE The Edmonds Classics book uses lemon icing with the option of adding cream and bananas. The online version has a choice of lemon or chocolate icing. I have mostly eaten banana cake with chocolate icing, so I tried the lemon icing from the Edmonds recipe. I don't think there was quite enough icing in the recipe, but I did really like the fresh lemon flavour with the banana cake. The recipe says to bake for 50 minutes. I made 2 and they were ready with fan bake in 30 minutes. I think I could have baked them for less too, as the cakes were a teeny bit on the dry side. It was okay though as I had the cream to go in the middle.

Yoyos are the yummiest. I love the melty bikkie and the custard flavours. This recipe is online too:
EDMONDS YOYO RECIPE This is the last biscuit recipe in the Edmonds Classics cookery book, and it is one of my favourites. This recipe in the Edmonds Classic Cookery book states that the original recipe which appeared in the 7th edition, included Angelica, but because the ingredient is hard to come by, they re-did the recipe.
This recipe includes cherries, mixed peel, and blanched almonds. I like a fruit biscuit, but my family do not. I think I would have liked more obvious cherry. These were ok. I was quite proud of my versions of these until I looked online and seen some very fancy and precise home made versions. Mine is the rustic variant ok! I did like this Edmonds recipe. The lemon zest and raspberry jam make these quite yummy.
I'm a fan of shortbread, espicially with chocolate chips in it. I usually do a version with the one half of the shortbread dipped in chocolate. I do like plain shortbread as well though, and nothing beats a good homebaked version for meltiness in the mouth. This Edmonds recipe turned out really nice and made a lot too.
There is an online version of this recipe: https://edmondscooking.co.nz/recipes/biscuits/shortbread/ Baking my way through the Edmonds Classics cookery book: The next is Raspberry Delights.
These you bake for 10 minutes and then add a spoonful jam in the centre for a further 3 minutes of baking time. I think the jam was suppose to be an inner dollop rather than something that spread out over them all! They do taste really nice though. The recipe states it makes 12, but I barely got 9. I know what these were going to taste like before I made them. I had them offered to me a lot as a child and I know people like them. This is a 'Top 20' Edmonds recipe. This recipe makes a good amount of cookies in a decent size. There is nothing wrong with the recipe and if you like Peanut Brownies you will like these. I just don't like Peanuts in my cookies.
This recipe in the Edmonds Classics Cookery book uses orange jelly crystals and coconut in the ingredients. The other ingredients include an egg and rice flour along with the usual standard flour.
These had a nice texture, but I didn't really like them. No jelly crystal in bikkies for me! I liked the story with the next recipe in the Edmonds Classics cookery book. Annie says Nutties is one of her favourite recipes because her Grandmother used to make them and have them in her baking tins. Now she makes them with hazelnuts.
For my attempt I used walnuts. The flavour is really nice and golden syrupy. I like walnuts too. The cookies themselves stayed pretty round and didn't change shape much from my original pre baked form. |
