Product Information

self raising flour.If you’ve had the flour for a while, also add a heaped teaspoon of baking powder. In a bid to make self-raising flour more popular among the general public, the company staged a series of exhibitions in the early 1920s where freshly baked scones, pastries and cakes were sold for a shilling to visitors.

This is the famous Hershey’s Chocolate Cake recipewhich I tried on the recommendation of Michelle from the Brown Eyed Baker (one of the first places I go in hunt for baked goods).
