Helen Robinson, member of the Euberta Country Women’s Association branch described the recipe for the chocolate cake as a “quick-mix” cake.
“My mum taught me how to cook,” she said.
“Pikelets were probably the first thing I learnt how to cook because we used to cater for shearers when I was little.
“I progressed from there to doing things like scones and chocolate cakes.”
Mrs Robinson’s mother and aunties were into show cooking as well, a path which she followed.
“I also pass on cooking lessons to my grandchildren as well,” she said.
“They love doing things like chocolate biscuits.”
