Title: Has anyone made the Boiled Orange and Almond Cake from EDC?
Post by: Mello on July 06, 2011, 11:32:42 am

I want to make the  Boiled Orange and Almond Cake but I wonder if anyone has made it before and does it work?

The reason I ask is I have made it before using Stephanie Alexander's recipe which is 6 eggs but the EDC recipe only has 3 and I am worried it wont work well.

Hi Mello, welcome to the forum.  I have an early EDC recipe book and mine says 6 eggs, maybe they changed it in the later editions. Helene has done this (http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2009/1356/gluten-free-thermomix-almond-cake-recipe.html) recipe not knowing we had one in our EDC and it is almost identical.  Have a read of what her followers thought of this recipe and compare the method with our book.

Thanks for the response and link. She uses 6 eggs so I think I will stick to that and see how it goes. I will let you know.

I have made the cake with only 3 eggs and it works fine.  Such a yummy cake  :)

4 eggs work for me.  Like Helene I use 200g of sugar rather than the 250g from EDC.  I also grind a tbsp of cardamom seeds with the almonds for extra flavour.
This is such a good recipe.  I've made 12 orange-almond cupcakes yesterday.  My youngest son was happy as his cupcake fitted nicely in his lunch box and smelt so good  :)

Oooh Carine, I like the sound of cardamom in there with the almonds, as I'm such a fan of cardamom. Hard to believe I made this cake ALL THE TIME and never thought of adding cardamom.  :-[ Boy, we sure can get complacent sometimes with recipes that work for us, can't we  ;)

Hey Helene, that's what this forum is all about:  exchanging ideas!  Glad you like the cardamom twist  :)
