  Hi guys, apologies! but I'm new & jsut finding my way round. Hope this is how I rely ? I thought I had entered the amounts of ingredients .... 10 oz (285g) self raising flour, 8oz (225g) sugar, 7oz (200g) mayonaise. fFor the icing - 3oz (85g) margarine/butter, 8 oz (225g) icing sugar. I only have ingredients in ounces & I used the sites converter to change them & I think this is why they don't show. I'll give it another go. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you try the recipe. Enjoy x
