I just have to share this blast from the past with you all.  If you could choose any cake for your birthday what would it be?


a) Chocolate Fudge 
b) Victoria Sponge 
c) Coffee and Walnut 
d) or something else  


This was the question posed to my mum at the weekend, and she selected option d) something else.  That something else she wanted was a sponge flan with pineapple and dream topping filling. That’s correct, has to be dream topping not fresh cream, otherwise it would not be the 1970’s would it.  Something I fondly remember my mum making for us all when we were younger.  So my sister stepped up to the plate, literally, and took on the task.  I’ve noted down the ingredients for you as there are a lot – you’ve been warned.


Ingredients   

  1. Homemade sponge flan
  2. Large tin of crushed pineapple
  3. Packet of Dream Topping
  4. Grated chocolate for decoration

Years ago when my mum made this she would use the shop bought sponge flans, so by doing so you could turn this into a real speedy treat.  Be sure to include some of the pineapple juice so that it soaks into the sponge.  

Happy Birthday Mum!
