Here is the secret recipe;
Scrumptious Chocolate Cake
225g (8oz) butter or stork
250g (9oz) caster sugar
4 eggs
10ml (2 tsp) instant coffee powder or granules dissolved in 15ml hot water
30ml (2tbsp) milk
5ml (1 tsp) almond essence
50g (2oz) ground almonds
100g (4oz) self raising flour
5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
50g (2oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
Oven temp 180 C Gas mark 4
Use two 8 inch cake tins line the bases with greaseproof paper
Warm the butter then beat in the sugar
Add the eggs one at a time (be careful not to get any shell in!)
The mixture should now look like a thick batter
Mix in the coffee, milk, almond essence and ground almonds
Sieve in the flour and cocoa powder and fold in gently
Bake for 20 – 30 minutes until springy to the touch.
Fill with butter cream and top with melted chocolate.
It's a funny thing - I've noticed I have clean nails when I've finished making the cake.

OK it's a 100% for the 23rd then. I'll call the museum in the morning and see what I can arrange. I'll also ask them for a recommended eatery nearby for Graham 
Any suggestions for an afternoon pootle somewhere? Maybe to Ray's for a 'restore the pick-up' afternoon
As a PS would everyone be OK with me contacting Gaydon to try and organise a 60th special website rally for next year???
