Posted by Bake Club on Monday, October 10, 2011, In : big cakes

No eggs, no wheat but still tastes great. The brown sugar and dates caramelised.

60 g dairy free spread or butter
1 c boiling water
1 and 3/4 c gluten-free flour

Baked apples deluxe by Frances

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, November 24, 2010, In : desserts

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against Annabel Langbein’s recipes as featured on her TV programme The Free Range Cook. I just wish this obviously bright and successful woman could add a few more adjectives to her vocabulary! Her superfluous gushing of ‘so good’, ‘so delicious’, ‘so easy’ and ‘so yum’ send me into a groaning fit. On the other side of the culinary coin, Nigella finds ways to promote food porn unlike any other TV chef: everythin...

Ruth B uses marvellous measuring cups to make date bran muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, September 29, 2010, In : small cakes

Nothing like kitsch kitchen utensils to inspire some baking. I have utensil envy of Ruth’s new ‘matryoshka doll’ measuring cups. Each head and bottom section is a different measurement! The muffin recipe is the one from the Edmonds cookbook, with dates and some ground linseed added. Ruth says: “It pretty much always works!”

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups bran
3 tablespoons ground linseed
1/2 cup chopped dates
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 tablespoon b...

1 tablespoon of grated orange peel (I change ingredients depending on what’s available – favourites are dates,
walnuts, almonds, apricots)
