HELP! I LOVE chocolate cakes, and just have to make this one. ;-) I have a funny tale that I thought (hoped) might bring a smile, or even a laugh to you, today...I lived with my family in England for a little over a year, from the time I had just turned 12 until I was a little over 13 years old. One of the most embarrassing times of my young life happened when my mom, siblings and I went shopping for clothing for school one day. Imagine, if you will, walking up to a salesman at a sporting goods/clothing shop, and asking where we might find some 'PANTS' for myself and my brothers. Uh huh. You've got it. Little did we know back then, that 'PANTS' were what the British call(ed) 'underwear or panties', and that we should have asked where to find 'trousers'. I was SO wanting to hide behind anything, that day, when we found out how my mom had said the 'wrong' thing. It's funny, of course, nowadays, whenever I think back to that day...but, it's hard enough being a pre-teen, without such horrors happening, especially when visiting/living in a country foreign to one's own! I hope I never embarrass my little boy, especially without MEANING TO do so. ;-) Christie F.camsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528742746372509437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-77901963729176146712015-01-17T23:04:02.034+11:002015-01-17T23:04:02.034+11:00I made this for my sister a couple of years back i...I made this for my sister a couple of years back it was delicious and easily converted to gluten freeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491610524545917189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-92199371251473961392014-10-05T12:26:29.891+11:002014-10-05T12:26:29.891+11:00I made this for my husbands birthday yesterday and...I made this for my husbands birthday yesterday and he lost his mind.

The original recipe makes quite a thin sponge but it was still enough when I made it. Your adjustments may have affected the volume of the final batter as well.<br /><br />Stephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-35173426301380002822014-08-08T16:44:57.055+10:002014-08-08T16:44:57.055+10:00I just baked this cake and realised as I was pouri...I just baked this cake and realised as I was pouring it into to tins that there wasn't enough. I should have doubled the mixture to an 8 egg sponge for 2 slice tins. I made the TimTam cake recipe on the taste website last week but the cake part was a bit dry so thought I would give this one a whirl. The last recipe was at least double the size of these ones, so please keep that in mind when making. The texture is nice and light though so I think with the adjustment it would be perfect. I can't be bothered remaking it so it will have to do. I made it fully gluten free for my sister after she saw the one I made last week (not gluten free), so I just used all gluten free plain flour for the corn+plain in the recipe and I also added a heaped tablespoon of milk powder to give a malty flavour as both malted milk powder and milo contain gluten. Obviously I will also be omitting the biscuits from the middle too but I don't think she'll mind :)Rachel Witthaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915077744653395050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-52896816010729605742014-03-22T20:38:06.417+11:002014-03-22T20:38:06.417+11:00amazing!!!!!!!!!!!amazing!!!!!!!!!!!Miss Vodkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918098506462111139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-10894033165453707272014-02-20T15:08:27.532+11:002014-02-20T15:08:27.532+11:00This is the greatest thing i have EVER seenThis is the greatest thing i have EVER seenMimi-Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13579485393553504897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-20565314156201027852014-02-06T09:56:47.783+11:002014-02-06T09:56:47.783+11:00http://www.buzzfeed.com/bradesposito/ways-to-eat-a...http://www.buzzfeed.com/bradesposito/ways-to-eat-a-tim-tamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-82017052241665061942014-02-05T10:00:16.716+11:002014-02-05T10:00:16.716+11:00OH my golly gosh.

I left the remaining batter out in the mixing bowl because I baked the second cake straight after taking out the first one. Since the baking time is so short you can get away with it. If you think you might have a longer break between baking the cakes I would probably keep it in the fridge.<br /><br />xxStephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-81295307112254493052013-04-18T14:11:09.196+10:002013-04-18T14:11:09.196+10:00I've been looking forward to making this cake ...I've been looking forward to making this cake FOREVER! I've been hoarding boxes of Tim Tams to make it for ANZAC Day this year. (I live in the States, and it's been impossible to find them this year - picked several packs up in NYC and Montreal.) (I know I only need one box for this but c'mon, who's gonna buy just one box?) <br /><br />Two quick questions - is the Dutch-process cocoa vital, or can I use regular cocoa and achieve the same consistency? (I'm not sure that I can find it here.) And I'm going to have to bake one cake at a time as well, did you leave the remaining batter out or put it in the fridge while the first was baking?<br /><br />Thanks!Abigailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-88667917247540706342013-01-26T11:36:20.195+11:002013-01-26T11:36:20.195+11:00If it rose okay and then sunk you may need to bake...If it rose okay and then sunk you may need to bake it for longer or cool it down more gradually.
