Just after some help with the vanilla ice cream from the EDC 09 version, I made a double batch (separately and tipped into the same container in the deep freezer) and 9hrs later it is still liquid  >:( some ice has formed but not much. I used raw milk, fresh from the cow 3 days ago cream and eggs are all in date, measurements were correct.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Sorry to be short bubs needs me!

Mines baking in the oven now, wanted to type this up while my boys were snoozing, will be back later to post photo :)

Note - Is quite moist the next day, will drop carrot down to 260 g next time like it is in the original recipe.

members' comments

Kali Ma - In the oven at the moment. I only wanted a small amount so did half a recipe. I also couldn't be bothered doing the walnuts/carrots then tipping them into a bowl etc so I simply combined mine on reverse for the steps following chopping the walnuts and carrots. I just don't think TMXing the cake does is justice... But I've yet to figure out why/what step.. When made 'normally is light and not dense at all.. My fav cake in fact. And although its edible done in the TMX its not FANTASTIC like it usually is..


Jabba - I made this yesterday but it didn't go too well.  I'm not sure the carrot was grated fine enough (and I tm-ed it longer than instructions) and as a result it was quite dense and the mixture didn't taste sweet enough.  As a result, the nutmeg really overpowered it.
Maybe grating instructions need tweaking?

Snoozie - It is very dense but I think it's quite nice.  DD is eating it!  I only put 100 g sugar in and made them muffin sized.

courton - I have just finished baking this cake. I reduced the oil to 210 g and might try reducing it even more next time. I did have to blitz the carrots a few more seconds than stated in the recipe.  It is dense but carrot cakes usually are. I had a very tiny bite and it was fine.

Chit Chat / Perthies SOR- Anyone want to share a Raw Milk Order?
« on: January 03, 2010, 04:25:49 am »
Hi, I hope this is ok to post if not feel free to remove it  8)

I am looking for a family to share a bulk 10L weekly purchase of raw 'bath' ( ;) ) milk, cost is $3 a L so would be $15 for 5L a week. Milk comes in a 10L container so we would need to decant into our own bottles on delivery. Looking for someone preferably SOR or someone who can come to me to collect as I don't have a car (that works) and carting 5L of milk on the bus is not for me  ;D

If anyone is interested you can send me a pm, reply here or email me at mvonpirch@bigpond.com  :)

Edited, 5 not 15!

Introduce Yourself / Hello, again :)
« on: January 01, 2010, 11:30:16 am »
Hello :) I had an account which seems to not be working anymore ??? So I thought I would do a re-intro..

I'm Mirranda and I live in Perth Aus with my 2 beautiful boys (2 and 1 yrs) and my partner  :-* . I got my tmx a week and a half ago and have been cooking up a storm since, so far I have made yoghurt (without milk powder), biscuits, sorbet, muffins, cakes, juices, chilli con carne, vsc, soups, creamy chicken with veg and mash, gravy, thai green chicken curry with rice, I am also making my daily loaf of bread and wizzed up a few batches of butter, just off the top of my head  ;D

I do have one little issue, and that is that I accidently found out that my tmx will turn on without the seal in the lid, is this something I should call them about? I am just worried that I will do it again and it will have something hot in it  :o

Anyhow it is lovely to be here again!
