Post by: Trissalicious on August 09, 2010, 02:04:38 pm

Zucchini and Marmalade Tea Cake with Pine Nuts
Serves 8 to 10
Ingredients:
Adapted from Tartine Cookbook

270 grams flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
155 ml vegetable oil
150 grams sugar
115 grams orange marmalade
285 grams zucchini, grated (if not using thermomix)
1/2 teaspoon salt
115 grams toasted pine nuts
30 grams brown sugar for topping

Preparation:
Place the zucchini into the TM bowl and set to speed 6 for 4 seconds.
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar and orange marmalade. Using the butterfly attachment (from steps 2 to 4), mix on speed FOUR for 15 seconds.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix on speed FOUR for another 15 seconds.
Add the toasted pine nuts (leaving some to top the loaf) and mix on speed FOUR for 10 seconds.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the surface with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and a handful of pine nuts.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven, and let cool for about 20 minutes on a wire rack then remove from the loaf pan and invert onto the rack. Turn this right side up and let cool completely.

Trissalicious, I should point out that when the butterfly is in, the maximum speed is only speed 4.  You can end up with black bits of plastic throughout your mixture at speeds over this. ;) ;)

Getting back to the recipe, this looks so lovely and moist and I still have some of Chookie's orange marmalade.  Have printed this one out ready for when I get my machine back - could be a while as the mechanic is going to be away this week.

Thanks Judy for pointing this out!  I guess I wasn't reading the manual properly!   :P

I'll edit the recipe now!

This looks lovely Trissa. Another one to add to my list of 'must makes'.
