Just whisked this up in Thelma and it was delicious! I used virgin coconut oil instead of macadamia so there's a faint coconut taste to it. Not too sweet, and very moist. I had to pop some of the mix in the oven though as I'd run out of room (I used 6 normal cupcake sized moulds and lots of teeny tiny ones as I'm making cakes for a lot of children) and the baked ones were a lot crunchier and not as flavoursome. Great recipe! Amazingly constructed sans egg and dairy.

Oh the lemon syrup idea sounds great! How much zest roughly to say 30 minutes of syrup? Cause they are large lemons and there are 14 of them so the further I can make this go, the happier I will be .

Have a look at my blog - I've adapted my cake what I use for parties and decorating to Thelma and it's up there as a lemon poppyseed one ATM. It's a dense butter cake as I need it to be pretty robust for decorating. Just leave out the lemon zest and juice and add a teaspoon of vanilla paste or essence to it instead.

You could leave them out and use any other dried fruit or else a tablespoon of brown sugar instead to add a sweet note. Dried cranberries would give a lovely festive hint to it!

Another Thelma here too though it was partner to Louise the breadmaker before it bit the dust :lol

I'm finding that cooking with breast in the Tmx often ends up dry so we're using more thigh than previously. I can't wait to try this recipe though!

Hi! I am a newbie Tmx owner and I thought I'd start a blog about it!

To date I've managed to blog every day and am going to try to do so to demonstrate what I do each day, perhaps to demonstrate to people how much I use it an encourage people who are wavering that it is a good purchase.

Pop by and let me know what you think.

The trick is to rinse in cold water first with a dash of detergent. This takes the onion type smells right out of the situation. Then wash with hot water. Hot water first up will "set" the smell. This was the advice I got as a Tupperware demonstrator for cutting boards and choppers and it's never failed .

Perhaps try washing in cold water now? That might solve the problem.
