ouma rusk recipe

I've been faithfully buying Ouma Rusks from one or another South African Shop for the past 12 years. They are terribly pricey for what you get, and I have a few recipes so could make them myself. On the off-chance I thought I'd hunt online and see what I could find under 'Ouma Rusk Recipe'. I have made a batch using a recipe by a South African blogger - they are buttermilk based without any extras. They're not quite as dry and crisp as my mum's (or Ouma's for that matter), but will suffice. It may be my fan-assisted oven, but after two "dryings" they still aren't bone dry, so I've decided to eat them as is.
Mum's recipe has All Bran flakes in it and sunflower seeds. I think this will be my next port of call.

Allyson's Dark Chocolate Tray Cake

Back in good ol' SA we have a supermarket chain called Pick'nPay. They have their own little cookery school - it's been going for some 20 years or more. Just like at Waitrose here, you can pick up a leaflet as you leave the store with some great recipes. Considering that these used to be photocopies, you'll have an idea of when last I took one. Today was our annual community Christmas day at church - when they throw the doors open to harrassed shoppers and exhausted parents - serve up lots of Xmas cheer, spicey apple drinks, and loads of home baking. I contributed with an all time CLASSIC which never fails : Allyson's Dark Chocolate Tray Cake. It's got lots of sugar, cocoa and buttermilk in it. And it is divine.
You bake it straight in a greased inch deep baking tray. You pour the icing on top (I did it while it was still warm). And it is moist and chocolatey and you can't go wrong. OK, I think I've sold it enough
