Granny's Johnny Allsorts Cake
Delicious, delicate and decadent, this elegant and simple-to-make spongy slice comes with tangy marmalade and sweet raisins in the base and creamy icing and coconut for the topping. There are infinite variations on this core theme - serve with yoghurt or cream, have elegant slices for a ladies' after noon tea or rumbustious slabs for the family or simply use your imagination. Its versatility and taste are winners in our family.
I have my Southland grandmother's admonitions and directions still pasted in the grimy much-used page of my cookbook: 'This is the cake you used to be siofond of. You may try it when are not such a high price.' !
