Cherry and apple pie

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, November 27, 2016, In : desserts 


I've always wanted to make a cherry pie and try my hand at lattice pastry. Not perfect-looking as I didn't crimp my edges but hey, tasted great. Thanks to Inspired Taste and Food.com for the inspiration. If you want a 100% cherry pie you'll need 4 1/2 cups of pitted cherries and adjust your sweetener to suit.

For the pastry:
2 1/2 c flour (I use spelt)
1 tsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp salt
230g cold butter cut into small cubes
6-8 Tbs ice water

For the pie:
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c cornflour
1 tsp cinnamon

Vegan banana loaf

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, November 22, 2016, In : big cakes 

I made this recipe from scratch! Just to experiment making a GF, DF, SF cake. It turned out a bit holey and dense but delicious all the same, and even better toasted. Without creamed butter and sugar, cakes tend to have a few holes. I will also use a lighter touch next time and not overmix the batter.

2 c flour (I use spelt)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c dates
2 ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c water
1/4 c softened coconut oil

Preheat oven to 180C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

Parkin

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, November 22, 2016, In : big cakes 


I've made soft treacle parkin before but I think I prefer this recipe from the BBC. The gingerbread gets more flavoursome after a few days.

1 egg
4 Tbs milk (I use rice)
200g butter
200g golden syrup (I use a mix of golden syrup and rice malt syrup
85g treacle
85g brown sugar
100g oatmeal (or oats coarsely ground)
250g self-raising flour (I use spelt and 1 tsp baking powder)
1 Tbs ground ginger

Preheat oven to 160C. Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
Beat the egg with the milk. In a saucepan...

Choconut slice

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, November 16, 2016, In : slices 

This is a simple biscuit base slice adapted from Blissful Bites by Christy Morgan (BenBella Books, 2011). For a crunchier base you could add buckinis as I do in my perfect ginger crunch.

1 3/4 c flour (I used spelt)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 Tbs natural sweetener such as coconut sugar, maple syrup
1/2 c coconut oil, melted
1/4 tsp salt
250g dark chocolate (at least 70%)
200ml coconut cream or milk
3 Tbs maple syrup or rice syrup
coconut chips or desiccated coconut and slice...

Conserve cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, In : big cakes 


I've appropriated this recipe from Heidi Swanson's membrillo cake. It's a great way to use up a hardened jam, jelly or conserve that's been in your fridge for too long. She uses membrillo, or quince paste, I used a fig and ginger jam that a friend made that I could cut up into pieces. The conserve pieces melt inside the cake to give a soft moist texture.

2 1/2 c flour (I used spelt and buckwheat)
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 c brown sugar or natural sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
grated zest of 2 lemons
1/3 c p...

Oatmeal raisin cookies (vegan, gluten-free)

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, November 3, 2016, In : cookies 

I'm really liking 'Gluten-Free & Vegan for the Whole Family' by Jennifer Katzinger (Sasquatch Books, 2015). Like her chocolate chip cookies, these oatmeal cookies are sugar-free and gluten-free. I've experimented with cashew nuts, buckwheat and spelt flour and they've all come out well. Everything is done in the food processor - you basically blitz the dry ingredients then add the wet. Dates are a great sweetener.
Makes 18 small cookies
1 2/3 rolled oats
1/2 c almonds
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon...
