Pina Colada Cake
This was meant to be Russian Cherry Cake but we had no cherries. So we went all Puerto Rican instead.
You'll make three or four sausages of pastry filled with pineapple, sugar and coconut mix, roll them up into snakes inside a springform pan, and bake 'em at 170. I found the bottom baked less than the top because of the squidginess factor so it might be a good idea to foil up the top and put it slightly towards the bottom of the oven for longer.
For the pastry there's 3.75 cups of flour, 120g butter (melted), two teaspoons of baking powder, a cup of yoghurt and 0.5 cups of sugar combined. Yep, a lot of flour. I found I had to add a bit of milk into this mix because it didn't hold together well enough. Roll up, make yer stuffed snakes, curl 'em up. Cut as per normal cake. Rather nice, actually.

OMG Slice (a.k.a. Diabetes Squares) - Chocolate and salted caramel
Made of almost nothing but sugar. Don't have a real recipe for this but something along the lines of:
Make a caramel in the microwave with equal amounts of golden syrup and white sugar, with a good knob of butter and a good teaspoon of salt. Needs to be enough to hold together enough chocolate rice crispies to coat the bottom of a slice-pan (lined). Spread, chill. Cook a tin of condensed milk with honey (good slug) and butter. See what I mean about the sugar? Until it sort of thickens or for about 5 minutes of bubbling. Spread on the earlier slice. I found it easier to cut this after a little freeze. Very sticky, very extreme and throat burney, cut into SMALL portions. Eat not over once a year.
