Uni - Just out of the oven it smells soooooooo good. Lucky I am not a fan of fruit cake, will have too wait for DH to give me thumbs up or down, I am sure it will be up. I used sweet potatoes and walnuts in mine. Thanks Nay-nay. My mix was all so very, very dry when mixing it and did not rise at all but DH gave it 2 thumbs up.
Nay-nay - it doesn't really rise that much.
MJ - I used brown sugar as I don't have rapadura. I also swapped out 150g water for 150g sherry and added 2 eggs. My cake rose really well. I cooked it a little slower (170C FF) and longer 1 hr 10 mins) and lined my tin with two layers of brown paper, like I always do for fruit cakes.
-
This sounds great Nay! Will try it soon.
We're seeding right now, so I'm madly cooking for lunch boxes.
-
Nay-Nay is this a fairly light fruit cake if you don't use molasses?
-

Yes - Molasses makes it look really rich. :)
-
I'm making this one right now. I used brown sugar as I don't have rapidura. I also swapped out 150g water for 150g sherry.
Will post when it's done.
-
No eggs? I hope that's correct! It's cooling down, so I might wait for a reply before I add the flour... :P
-
nay nay can you please just put an "r" in the Fruit cake, so I can build a bridge and get over it ;D
-
Start building that bridge!! I can't believe I didn't even see that!!! :-[
No Eggs - No 'R'!!! Haha - I think I asked my mother-in-law the same question when she gave me the recipe. It works - I promise. ;)
-
Nay nay do you think I could use sweet potato instead of the pumpkin?

I guess so. :)

Yes the original recipe just called for sugar - the sherry sounds interesting - let us know how it went. ;)

Thanks Nay-nay
-
Mmm, walnuts would be a nice addition.
Mine's in the oven now.
Nay, I got the message from you about no eggs, but I did put some in - not because I didn't believe you, I promise!
It's because I left the fruit mixture in the fridge overnight and the fruit had absorbed all the moisture so that when I mixed in the flour it was very, very dry. I added two beaten eggs. Next time, I'll make it as per the recipe.
The mixture tasted divine - sherry really adds flavour.
-
my mix was all so very very dry and did not rise at all .
-
Maybe the eggs made the difference fundj.
My cake rose really well. I cooked it a little slower (170C FF) and longer 1 hr 10 mins) and lined my tin with two layers of brown paper, like I always do for fruit cakes.
I haven't cut it yet, but it looks lovely. You can see the EDC Best Coconut Cake on the rack too.

Well that must be disappointing. Mine has never been dry and it doesn't really rise that much.
Meganjane that looks lovely. ;)
-
Nay –nay it was dry when mixing not when DH ate it, he gave it 2 thumps up
-
I really love the one I made, very moist and delicious. I'll try it without eggs next time as it's good to have cake recipes that don't require them - especially when making cakes on a long weekend with no shops open!
-
or when the chooks have decided not to lay. This is the cake I bake when there are no eggs. ;)
-
Thank you so much, Nay-Nay. I'm delighted to find you have converted this recipe for Thermomix. It's a good way to use up pumpkin. :P Yum!
-
i have made this cake and replied once i made it . omg i can’t remember making this cake :-X :-[
-
You're not alone there fundj, I've even come across recipes I've posted and had forgotten they were mine.
-
Thanks good to know JD. thanks
-
I post recipes and then throw out the original with all the scribble on. Weeks/months/days later I get into a flap because I can't find it. I always forget to print my own converted recipes out. Drrrr :P :P
-
I have a pkt of potato flour and a pkt of wheat germ in the pantry just sit there one day i will remember why i bought them. any ideas what i could use the wheat germ for? Can i add it to a bread dough?
-
Cookie that seems to be a common ailment - I have to revert to the forum post as I have forgotten to save or print the convert4ed recipe - happened on Friday with potato chip cookies :) :)
-
LOL!! :D Hahha that's ok fundj when I saw this thread I wondered if the recipe was going to be like mine - turns out it was mine!! :-[ :-)) ;)
-
Fundj, did you buy that wheatgerm for Iron Booster Balls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3413.0)

you are a gem, judydawn
Lemon feather cake and muesli bars
-
Thanks for a lovely recipe........ I used 50gms of rapadura and 50gms of raw. I'm going to try eliminating all the raw next time as I think it would still be sweet enough. It's a really lovely moist cake. ;D
-
I love using Rapadura too ;)

LOL Let me know if you find out why you have that potato flour - I'm in the same boat! 😄😄
-
Caroline , could it be for the lemon feather cake ;D

Caroline, have you seen paperfreak's postings of cookbook contents and ingredients in the childboard "Cookbook Contents"? under Recipe Book Recipe Reviews.
This is the very reason she is making these lists, type in your ingredient(s) and recipes containing them will be highlighted in yellow. I checked all the books she has done so far and the only recipe I have found using potato flour is Sue's Famous Chocolate Cake on page 75 of GF cooking. You must put "potato flour" for the search to work properly as she explains in the preface to her lists. This is the first time I have used the list but it was a great exercise in how it does work so if anyone has an ingredient in their pantry and wonders why they bought it, I suggest you check out these lists to see if you can come up with the answer. The work involved in these lists is a credit to paperfreak and if you use any of these books frequently, it has to be a very useful list.
For recipes on the forum, all you do is go to the home page, type in "potato flour" and recipes will come up with these words highlighted.

Caroline , could it be for the lemon feather cake ;D
I think it could well be 😄
-
Thanks Judy, I'll take a look at that.
-
The Lemon Feather cake is lovely.
-
Just made this cake again today. I wondered why I had written '2 beaten eggs' underneath. Now I know, it's because I wasn't sure last time.
I should have checked here first and could have saved using a couple of eggs. Never mind...
