Lime slice

Base:

160 g flour

50 g sugar

120 g cold butter or dairy-free spread, cubed


Filling:

160 ml / 2/3 c lime juice (about 8 small limes)

zest from limes, optional

Chocolate ganache cake

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, In : big cakes 



This decadent recipe is by Dorie Greenspan (Baking with Dorie, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021). She calls it her Lisbon Chocolate Cake, after tasting something similar at Lisbon's Landeau Chocolate cafe. She says the three layers are essential to make the whole - a fudgy brownie-like cake, a whipped moussey ganache and a cocoa dusting.


1/3 c / 28 g cocoa

1 1/2 Tbsp cornflour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

113 g butter or dairy-free spread

142 g dark chocolate, chopped

1/2 c sugar

3 cold eggs...

Brown sugar sponge with fruit

Posted by Frances Chan on Sunday, March 20, 2022, In : big cakes 


Another versatile recipe from Lazy Baking by Jessica Elliot Dennison (Hardie Grant Books, 2021). Just use whatever seasonal fruit you have on hand. I like a recipe that uses no more than 2 eggs. For some reason I find 3 or more eggcessive! You can use other sugars if you don't have soft brown. Ground coconut sugar will be delicious too. This cake is like a warm hug.


175 g butter or dairy-free spread, softened

150 g soft brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla paste

125 g ground almonds

175 g flour (I used...

Tomato, parmesan and caper galettes

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, March 19, 2022, In : savoury 

I am loving Lazy Baking by Jessica Elliot Dennison (Hardie Grant Books, 2021). She likes no-fuss recipes that are comforting and delicious, using minimal utensils and equipment. Of course you can buy shortcrust pastry but it doesn't take much effort to make your own, and her basic recipe is very easy. This recipe only makes 4 galettes so I would suggest to double it so you can freeze half the dough for next time.


Makes 4

Pastry:

150 g flour (I used spelt)

pinch sea salt flakes

85 g cold butter, cu...

White chocolate & macadamia cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, March 18, 2022, In : cookies

1/2 c caster sugar

1/4 c soft brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

180 g flour

Miso maple cake

Posted by Frances Chan on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, In : big cakes 



Now this is something a bit different from the legendary Dorie Greenspan. The unusual savoury sweetness adds that je ne sais quoi.


1 3/4 c flour

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 c sugar

1/4 tsp sea salt

zest of orange, finely grated

113 g butter or non-dairy spread, softened

1/4 c miso

1/4 c maple syrup

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 c buttermilk (I used watered down yoghurt)

1/4 c apricot jam or marmalade

1 Tbsp water


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

Banana and rum cake

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, March 11, 2022, In : big cakes 

A banana cake with a bit of oomph. The rum doesn't make it too boozy so it's ok to serve to kids! It's from Guilt-free Baking by Gee Charman (Nourish, 2015).


2 eggs

3/4 c sugar (I used coconut)

1/3 c milk of choice

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

1/4 c apple puree

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 banana, sliced

1 3/4 c plus 1 Tbsp flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

2 Tbsp rum

2 Tbsp honey

Victoria sponge

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, In : big cakes 

I've made 3 sponges in the last 2 weeks. There's something very simple yet satisfying about a plain sponge embellished with jam and cream. I have not met anyone yet who didn't want a slice. Mary Berry's recipe is a classic and comes with a couple of great tips.


225 g non-dairy spread, softened (easier to work with than butter)

225 g sugar

4 eggs

225 g self-raising flour (or plain flour with 1 tsp baking powder)

1 tsp baking powder
To make a chocolate version, add 1/4 c cocoa


Filling:

1 c jam of choic...
