Recipe Requests / Re: Pate
« on: October 15, 2013, 01:50:24 pm »
I make the chicken liver pate from the EDC often and it is great. I have made it using lamb and calf liver and it so doesn't work! Way too strong.

But give it a go - cheap and easy.

yep - I add them so they look like poppy seeds - ie orange and poppy cake. You could just leave them out.

Special Diets / Orange and Chia cake - GF, DF, NF
« on: October 07, 2013, 04:38:05 am »
Making this for school lunchboxes to freese. Similar to the modified EDC choc cake one I posted earlier. Looks like an orange poppyseed cake.

120g ricebran oil (or oil of choice)
4 eggs
100g orange juice and zest of one orange
1 tsp vanilla essence
90g rapadura
80g coconut flour

mix till combined S5

add 20 g black chia seeds, 1 tsp baking, 1 tsp bicarb and mix S3 till combined

bake in preheated 180d oven for about 30 mins.

Doesn't rise hugely but I bake in a square pan and then if you wanted you could ice with the caramel iceing recipe already posted. I don't think it needs it for a lunchbox though.

Special Diets / A lovely icing recipe
« on: October 03, 2013, 01:30:54 am »
from http://www.wholefoodsimply.com/caramel-mud-cake-wholefood-simply-style/

I didn't enjoy the cake but the icing is to die for. And would be good on any number of cakes including Magic Bean Cake - could add cocoa/cocao to make choccy.

Caramel Frosting

3 heaped tablespoons hulled tahini

3 heaped tablespoons honey

3 heaped tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour the mixture directly over the cooled cake for a runny icing or refrigerate the mixture and allow it to set slightly for a thicker frosting consistency.

Isn’t it heavenly? Enjoy!!
Just do tahini to taste - maybe start at 1-2 TB if you are not used to it?

I good icing for it DF I got from 'wholefood Simply' is 2 TB Coconut oil, 2 TB Tahini, 2 Tb honey and whizz up. Delish. DF, Nut F, GF :)

Special Diets / "Too Easy Chocolate Cake" from EDC modified GF
« on: October 02, 2013, 12:50:41 pm »
I made this today as I wanted a quick chocolate cake the kids would eat and wouldn't know was GF etc. It worked well so have written the recipe down. Texture is moist like the Magic Bean Cake. If you want to make it 'darker' in taste double the cocoa.

120g butter (or use macaedamia or olive oil if too lazy to melt butter ;D)
4 eggs
100g milk
100g rapadura sugar
40g coconut flour
15g cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb


180deg oven pre-heated, grease a 20cm cake tin.

Butter in TMX and melt 2 mins 60 deg S3
Add everything else except baking powder and bicarb and mix 30 secs S4-5
Add baking and bicarb and mix to combine - S3 for a few secs
Bake 25-35 mins till done. Mine was perfect at 30 mins.

To make this into a brownie: grease a brownie tin,  leave out the bicarb, replace the sugar with dried dates that you grind first (S9-10 10 secs or so) and double the cocoa. Then mix some pecans/walnuts/hazlenuts etc into the batter as you pour it.

This is one of my favourite recipes ever. I soak the brown lentils first - ideally get them to the sprouting stage and I add garlic and 1 or 2 TBS Ras El Hanout - and that absolutely makes it!

Lol - I find the old one with 50g plain flour horrible and use a TBS of cornflour. And don't mill my sugar.

she might have heaps and want to use if up before it has been frozen for more then 3 months? I know I had litres and litres - about 15 that I just threw down the sink. Should have thought of making yogurt out of it.
