I would like to know how to convert a Vanilla Cake into a chocolate cake but am not exactly sure.This is the recipe2 Cups SR Flour4 Tablespoons of custard powder1 cup of milk2 cups of sugar120g melted butter4 eggsa few drops of vanilla depending on preference.Preheat oven to 180 degreesBeat all above together until creamyCook for 40 minutes and test - it may still not be ready so reduce heat and cook until skewer comes out cleanI think I have to reduce the custard powder and substitute like amount of cocoa powder but I am not certain.It was given to me ages ago - I have made it but it takes a long time to cook because it's a very wet mixture.Hoges in WA

That's more like it for sweet biscuits.

The recipe I use (ok,ok, the one I made her use)

1 cup plain flour 2/3 cup sugar 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup dessicated coconut 125g unsalted butter 1/4 cup golden syrup 1/2 tsp baking soda 1tbls boiling water.

These ones are certainly sweet.

Are your daughter's biscuits rolled and cut, dropped, or baked in a pan then sliced, like Bronwyn's in the link? They're certainly very similar ingredient lists...
