Cut butter into flour until it looks like fine bread crumbs. Add sugar, baking powder, and fruit. Beat egg and vanilla essence in a separate bowl and add to flour mixture. Grease a large baking tray. Heap spoonfuls of dough 2-3 inches apart on the baking tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C)."
article: On gas stoves with gas marks for heat, this is usually around 6. The butter should be roughly centimeter large cubes. This will make it easier to mix in later on. Chill your butter in the refrigerator or freezer for 20 to 30 minutes beforehand so it is easier to manage. When measuring flour, use a sift or stir the flour quickly with a fork to break up large chunks and get an accurate measurement. Toss the chilled butter to coat it in flour. Then take two knives and literally cut into the mixture with crisscrossing motions. Think of cutting an "X" into the butter and flour with the two knives. The butter should be about the size of peas when you are done. You can also lightly massage the butter and flower with your fingertips, or you can use a pastry blender, which looks like 4 to 5 wire arches attached to a handle. Mix together the ingredients so that they are evenly distributed, and then stop. Over mixing can lead to starchy or tough cakes. Mix together to form a stiff dough. If you are having trouble adding mixing the dough, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out. Using either cooking spray or a small pat of butter, grease a baking tray to prevent the rock cakes from sticking. You can also cut a piece of parchment paper and use it to line the baking tray. Using a spoon, drop a dollop of dough onto the greases baking tray. Remember–these are rock cakes, so they don't have to be pretty to look like rocks. Check the cakes occasionally to make sure they are not burning. They are done when the outsides are firm and golden brown.

article: There are many different ways to correspond with a penpal, and deciding on the one that’s right for you makes it easier to sort through the number of penpal websites on the Internet. Some people prefer communicating electronically while others like to use penpals as a means of creative communication.  The International Union of Mail-Artists is a website dedicated to those who like sending postal art to their penpals. IUMOA is a much more niche community as it has roughly 4,000 active members. However, it is the perfect medium for those who like to have an artistic element to their penpal correspondences.  Swap-Bot is another website dedicated to creative forms of corresponding. The website focuses on swapping where users exchange postcards, stickers, coins, and a variety of other small crafts. Swapping is ideal for hobbyists and those interested in sending hand-assembled mail.  Global Penfriends is a good example of a website designed to facilitate more traditional penpal relationships. This club has been around since 1995 and has a large database of penpals. Users can search for potential penpal partners from around the world, using a  search engine to find their perfect penpal. You can find penpals interested in exchanging mail art, postcards, packages, and gifts, as well as traditional letter penpals. Some websites don’t allow users to add their postal addresses, preferring more secure electronic communication. If you prefer old-fashioned snail mail and the feel of fresh paper, then it’s best to find a website that facilitates postal communication. Global Pen Friends allows both electronic and postal correspondence, where users can exchange physical addresses after establishing contact. Many websites allow you to search for penpals for free but require premium memberships where users pay a low monthly or annual fee in exchange for communication with their penpal. Other websites allow for free memberships, but that often comes at the cost of excessive advertisements. InterPals is a reliable free penpal website with a robust database of users and minimal advertisements Check out any suggestions listed in this guide, but feel free to search for a website on your own. However, there are many poorly run or defunct penpal websites so it’s important to know how to find the right one.  Look at the website’s design. Is it clunky, filled with oversized text, and stuffed with annoying advertisements? These are all telltale signs of an inefficient penpal website. A trustworthy website should have a sleek, user-friendly layout with a well-defined explanation of how the website works. Check out the frequently asked questions section. This part of the website should answer all of the important questions about whether it’s a paid website, how to set up a profile, and whether it allows for postal and/or electronic communication. Play around with the website before you decide to make a profile. Check out the search engine and see how easy it is to use. Look at how many users are available to communicate with and see if you can find users from the countries you’re interested in. When you have activated your account, it's time to set up your own profile which other pen pals can see. Designing a profile plays a key role in getting new pen pals. Depending on this information, members will choose to click on your profile when they are searching for members and whether to write you a message. Complete the about me and hobby boxes with great detail, because this is how users decide if they have anything in common with you. Upload at least one good profile picture so people know you are a real person. Be thorough with your personal description, but careful not to give away any personal information you aren’t comfortable with sharing.

Pound cake is one of the simplest cakes to bake. Pound cakes are best baked in deep pans, such as loaf pans or bundt pans. Use butter or shortening to grease the pan. Then, sprinkle a light layer of flour into the pan, rotate the pan until it's evenly coated, then tap out the excess flour. Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy and creamy. For best results, add the eggs one at a time and beat the mixture in between. Keep beating the mixture until the eggs are completely incorporated. Keep the electric mixer on low or use a wooden spoon to stir the flour in a bit at a time until it's just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix it. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through the cook time to ensure it bakes evenly. The cake is finished when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy your delicious homemade cake!
