Carrot cake with everything

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, In : big cakes 

There are no less than 9 recipes for carrot cake on Bake Club - it's a perennial favourite for sure. This one ticks all the boxes for vegetables, nuts, fresh fruit, dried fruit, spices, healthiness and it's a double decker - all topped with the essential cream cheese icing. It's from Allyson Gofton's The Baker's Companion (Penguin Random House, 2019).


4 eggs

2 c grated carrot

1 3/4 c caster sugar

1/2 c raisins, plumped up by soaking in water or liqueur for half an hour

Toffee apple buns

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, October 20, 2022, In : bread

4 apples

100 g dried apple slices, optional

Carrot cake cheesecake

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, January 3, 2022, In : big cakes 

One must have cream cheese icing with carrot cake, so why not bake the topping into the cake? This is from Jerrelle Guy's Black Girl Baking (Page Street, 2018).

Raw apple raisin cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, December 16, 2021, In : cookies 

With the oven still bung I made these wholesome raw cookies in the dehydrator. Dehydrated food sometimes doesn't look the most appetising so I tszujed these up with some white chocolate decoration. This recipe is adapted from The Complete Book of Raw Food (Hatherleigh Press, 2005).

Makes around 30 small cookies
2 c sunflower seeds, soaked for 6-8 hours and rinsed
2 apples, cored
2 bananas
1/2 c dates
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c raisins or cranberries

Coconut cake with pineapple curd and coconut buttercream

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, In : big cakes 


This three-part cake celebrates tropical flavours, a nod to our Pacific neighbours. Buttercream is a real indulgence so I've offset it somewhat with a healthier butter-free cake. The curd can also be made dairy-free.


Curd:

400 g fresh pineapple or a can pineapple in juice

1/4 c / 4 Tbsp butter or non-dairy spread

1/4 c cornflour

1/4 c coconut cream or milk

1-3 Tbsp sugar, optional

few drops yellow food colouring


Make the curd first. Blitz the pineapple in a blender until smooth.

Melt the butter on a l...

Apple filo pies

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, November 14, 2021, In : desserts 

I got this idea from Nadiya Hussain. She uses some good 'cheats' to make her recipes quicker. She used 2 cans of chunky apple sauce for her filling, but I haven't seen these in Auckland shops so I just made my own stewed apple.


700 g apples, preferably Granny Smith

Splash of water and lemon juice

1 tsp mixed spice

1/2 c raisins

1/2 chopped nuts (I used toasted hazelnuts)

cooking oil spray

12 sheets filo pastry

demerara sugar, optional
icing sugar, optional

Apple cranberry galette with vanilla ice cream

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, September 26, 2021, In : desserts 

The finale of my French week is a galette - a freeform fruity pie for dessert. But you can also have it for breakfast and lunch! It's important to keep the pastry cold so chill it before rolling out, and chill the whole pie for half an hour after you put the filling in, while you're heating up the oven. Apple and cranberry is a great combo but feel free to use whatever mix of ingredients you have on hand - pear and walnut, apple and dried apricots or prunes, apple and berries, fresh stone fru...

Apple cheese caraway scones

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, October 13, 2019, In : savoury 


This is an intriguing recipe by Malika Ameen from Sweet Sugar, Sultry Spice (Roost Books, 2016). After reading the ingredients I really wanted taste these flavours together. It's mostly a savoury bite but with a sugary crust. I bought dried apples specially but I think chunks of fresh apple would be fine too.

1 1/4 c flour (I used spelt)
1/2 c oat flour (I ground oats in a coffee grinder)
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 1 /2 tsp baking powder

Dutch apple cake

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, July 11, 2019, In : big cakes 

This is a lovely moist cake with a hint of cinnamon - I've eaten it for breakfast, dessert and many times in between! Perfectly fine served at room temperature but extra nice served warm with yoghurt or cream.

100g softened butter or non-dairy spread

Apple crisps

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, June 30, 2017, In : sweets 


After years of experimenting with sugar-free healthy snacks for our daughter, the one thing she will always eat is dried apple slices. Kids love simplicity.
I used a mandoline to cut four apples into 3-4 mm rounds. Cut them whole with skin on, no need to de-core. Put the slices into a bowl and drizzle with a some lemon juice and mix to stop the apples going brown. Place the slices in one layer on dehydrator trays or baking trays. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Dehydrate between 47-70C for ...

Fruit straps

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, In : sweets 

Been meaning to try drying my own fruit leathers for a long time - so easy! Just roughly cut up 4 organic apples and blitz in a blender with 5 medjool dates (pitted) and about 1/2 c filtered water until a thick paste forms. Spread onto paraflexx dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for about 12 hours. I have a round dehydrator, so my sheets look like giant donuts.
This lot were quite thin and turned out crunchy but that's all good. I'll spread them thicker next time and get more of a leathery texture.

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:

Apple and prune slice

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, November 20, 2015, In : slices 

On a visit to the library I spied a whole table of enticing cookbooks, including French by the Australian Women's Weekly. I went straight to the After-Dinner Treats section and found something fruity I could make with what I had on hand. This is the first time I've made my own shortcrust pastry, using a food processor. Turned out lovely and crisp and I shall be doing it again!

4 apples (about 600g)
3/4 c prunes, chopped
2 1/2 c water

Apple & rhubarb crumble

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, August 18, 2015, In : desserts 

This recipe combines Heidi Swanson's tutti-frutti crumble topping with an apple/rhubarb base, but you can use any kind of fruit or berries you have on hand. Freezing the topping helps to make chunky crunchy bits in the crumble, which go so well with the soft fruit.

1/2 c rolled oats
2 Tbs poppy seeds
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c desiccated coconut
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c / 70g melted butter

Frances makes apple spice granola

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, December 8, 2012, In : sweets 

This recipe is from Chef Rene who is a raw food specialist. I went to a raw chocolate workshop of his once and make his super fudge recipe often. The granola is so crunchy and tasty, goes well with yoghurt or rice milk or apple juice. Sometimes I just eat little handfuls from the jar. I have never used buckwheat groats before so it was a new experience for me. Next time I might add coconut threads or nutmeg. Thanks Chef Rene!

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...
