Hi Lindsay.     When I asked for a recipe for Carrot Cake I printed all the replies out and reading through it today I noticed that you asked me to print my recipe up.....did you mean the Date and Walnut cake.     Sorry that I didn't notice at the time....too busy making the Carrot Cake!!!  If you should see this post perhaps you could let me know.

I thought that I would make some Yorkshire Puddings today....my husband thought that they were lovely pancakes!!!
        

Thanks for that, I will make that recipe later on this month (am trying to space out the cakes...!!!)
It sounds lovely and i know will be much nicer than the ones you can buy in the shops which somehow are always disappointing!

Many thanks Jackie :)

ps I love Yorkshire puddings - my oH likes them "stodgy" and so will sometimes open the oven door at the wrong time...:D
