Hello Elaine
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet message. I always use google to convert. They are pretty good.
Castor is a refined white sugar here in SA...not the same as powder sugar though.
Where have you moved to...and hope you are all settled?
Hugs right back to you my friend.

Hello, Shel, and thank you so much for your visit and sweet comment on my Heritage Cake post! I got one of Sophie Dahl's cookbooks from the library last year and loved paging through the recipes. This sponge cake recipe sounds delightful.
