Jaffa cupcakes and orange sauce

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, In : small cakes 


I used up the oranges my friend gave me with these orange chocolate cupcakes. Then I made a orange sauce to have with the cupcakes as a pudding.
The recipe is a variation of the one I made up for these chocolate, cranberry, honey muffins I made for honey week last year.

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 heaped Tbs cocoa or raw cacao powder
1 c yoghurt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 c rice malt syrup or honey

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
3/4 c chocolate drops or chips (optional)

Orange and lemon shortbread

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, July 27, 2015, In : cookies 

My orange journey continues with some citrus shortbread also from The Cookie Book (Fog City Press, 2001).

1 c flour (I used white spelt)
1/3 c white sugar (yes, white death, to retain the 'whiteness', I used a bit less)
pinch salt
2 tsp orange and/or lemon rind
125g cold butter
1/2 tsp orange or lemon extract

Preheat oven to 165C. In a bowl mix flour, sugar, salt and zest. Cut in the butter and rub in until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle with extract. Form into a ball and knead gently and b...

Orange spice bars

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, July 25, 2015, In : slices 

For some reason I'm not a big fan of oranges and I hardly ever buy them. But when I was given some from a friend's tree I decided to take up an orange challenge. First up, these spicy slice bars from The Cookie Book (Fog City Press, 2001). The flaked almonds didn't really stay on top of the slice. Next time I'd ice the slice after it's cooled down and then put the flakes on. They are warmly spiced orangey biscuit.

1 1/2 c self-rising flour (or use flour and some 1 tsp baking powder)
1/3 c brown...

Flourless chocolate brownies

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, In : slices 

When you taste these brownies you'll never guess the secret ingredient - chickpeas! What a great way to get fibre and protein into a sweet treat. It's another sugar-free recipe from I Quit Sugar.

1 1/2 c cooked chickpeas or 1 can drained
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c coconut oil, softened
2 eggs
1/4 c nut or seed butter 
1/3 c cacao powder
2 Tbs rice malt syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c walnuts (or any nuts) for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking tin or loaf tin with baking paper.
Put all t...

Florentines

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, In : sweets 

This is my first attempt at florentines. A bit fiddly but still yummy - anything coated in chocolate is! Worth the trouble for a special occasion, such as watching the final of the Superubgy where the Highlanders won against the Hurricanes 21-14! This recipe is adapted from the good ol' NZ Women's Weekly.

100g flaked almonds
1/4 cup sultanas
1/4 cup chopped mixed peel
1/4 cup chopped dried peaches (most recipes use glacé cherries but you can use any dried fruit such as cranberries, pears, prunes...
