Call for Tarawera Cake
Dear Aunt Daisy, Another call for help! I wonder if you can tell. me, through The Listener, the recipe for Tarawera Cake? It is a nice dark fruity mixture, with 8 eggs, I think, but it is not extravagant with butter. I got it from an old New Plymouth resident, but have since lost it. And I wonder if many of your readers know the old fashioned Scottish way of cooking trout, trevalli, kahawai, or other fat fish, Here is my mother’s recipe: Bring the water in a pot to boil. Quickly add a generous quantity of salt (about 1 tablespoon) and 1 cup of cold water; then put in the fish, in one piece if possible. Water should barely cover it. In trout or small kahawai the tail is pushed through the mouth, Bring to the boil, and at once put aside on stove where it will barely simmer. It is cooked when’ the fins lift off easily — usually about 25 minutes. Serve with parsley sauce, and your family will come back for more!

I hope this will catch the eye .of someone who knows the Tarawera Cake. I have a great number of New Plymouth recipes myself, but this cake is not among them. Many thanks for the g00d Scottish way of cooking fish,
