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).

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

Banana filo tarte tatin

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, In : desserts 

This is a very simple and delicious way to use up bananas and filo pastry.

4-6 sheets of filo pastry (or use puff pastry)

3 ripe bananas, sliced (make circles or diagonal shapes, up to you)
50 g chopped hazelnuts (or any nuts, chopped, flaked or sliced)
orange zest, optional

Banana bread cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, September 11, 2021, In : cookies 

This is adapted from Donna Hay's ingenious 4-ingredient recipe. I just used less banana to more flour ratio so the mixture wouldn't be so soft. They are not very good-looking cookies so you can jazz them up to look more appealing. The cookies have a crispy shell and a soft banana bread middle - a real wholesome treat.

Makes about 15
3/4 c mashed banana (about 2 medium)
3 c almond flour or almond meal (I grind almonds in a coffee grinder then sieve)
1/2 c coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
To sprinkle: 1 ...

Vegan banana cake

Brown butter banana cake with brown butter cream cheese icing

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, October 24, 2020, In : big cakes 
 
I've always wanted to give brown butter a go, considering all the cheffy types love the flavour and believe it adds so much to sweet or savoury food. So I used it in this cake and frosting - rather excessive I thought but it makes an impressive cake! It's from Jill O'Connor's Cake, I Love You (Chronicle Books, 2017). The beurre noisette brings an extra depth of caramelness to the banana.

330g unsalted butter
3 c flour (I used spelt)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt

When I see tiramisu on a menu, I am compelled to order it! The there's nothing quite like a creamy, coffee, spongey dessert to end your meal. This healthy ice cream version is tiramisu reimagined, in a good way. It's from Jessica Sepel's Living the Healthy Life (Macmillan, 2017)

Choconutty popcorn cookies

Banana chocolate muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, In : small cakes 

What's the secret to soft fluffy muffins? Don't overmix the batter. This is Nadia Lim's very easy recipe and it works well. You can swap out whatever flours/sugars/flavours you want or have on hand. You can even use replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water).

Banana coconut cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, February 19, 2020, In : cookies 

Just two ingredients to make these delicious cookies. I like them very thin to produce a crispiness and caramelisation on the edges. You can go crazy with your extras and add your favourite flavourings.

Chocolate banana muffins with streusel

Elevate your muffins with a salty nutty topping! You can make the streusel ahead of time and keep in the fridge until needed. This recipe is adapted from Sweet Sugar Sultry Spice by Malika Ameen (Roost Books, 2016).

Havreflarn (oat thins)

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, August 25, 2019, In : cookies 

Here's a healthy twist on a classic Swedish havreflarn (thin oat biscuits). I've used banana instead of sugar and added toppings for variety. Sometimes chocolate is sandwiched in between 2 biscuits; I've just spread one side with chocolate, like a chocolate digestive.

Makes around 20
2 c rolled oats
2 bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (optional)
toppings if desired: threaded coconut, black sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds

Caramelised banana cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, In : big cakes 

I've made this before but it's worth revisiting because it's an impressive upside-down cake - bananas love to be caramelised. 

Caramel topping:
50g butter or dairy-free spread, melted
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
2-3 large bananas, sliced on an angle

Cake batter:

Banoffee pie

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, December 26, 2017, In : desserts 

I scoured the net and came up with a mix-and-match raw vegan banoffee pie recipe. This is different from my other banoffee pie, which uses cashew cream.

For the base:
1/2 c almonds
1/2 c walnuts
1/3 c desiccated coconut
6 deglet noor dates (use medjool if you have them, I was just saving $)
1 tbsp rice malt syrup
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Raw banoffee pie

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, In : desserts 

This is a recipe from Eleanor Ozich. It's delicious, but I will make it slightly different next time. I usually make a raw base with the usual suspects: dates, almonds, coconut oil, but I find it's not crunchy enough for my liking. So I add buckinis (activated buckwheat groats). Or do the easy classic non-raw cheesecake base - bashed up gingernuts or malt biscuits mixed with some melted butter. I wanted more caramel and less cream filling so next time I will halve the cashew cream.

Base:

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

Brilliant breakfast muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, November 30, 2015, In : small cakes 

My little baby girl used to love porridge - one of her first words, one of her daily favourite foods. But at 3 and a half she's a bit more picky and some days breakfast is a scant affair and I'm left to eat the porridge she didn't touch. As I was pondering this dilemma I came across Nadia Lim's super breakfast muffins in her Good Food Cook Book (Random House, 2013). I used her recipe as a base but reduced the sugar content by 1 whole cup; I don't think you need it with the dates and banana in...

Banana & chocolate chip loaf

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, February 24, 2014, In : big cakes 

By Frances
Long time no bake! Today I decided to peruse my collection of cookbooks to find a banana cake I hadn't tried before. Ravinder Bhogal's Cook in Boots had this decadent banana loaf - with lashings of chocolate chips and walnuts. I used chocolate drops, which could have been chopped, and I could have used less, as the batter overflowed in the tin. It was the perfect treat to take to visit a friend.
I'm entering this in February's Sweet New Zealand, hosted by Alessandra Zecchini. Enter t...

Here's a banana nut loaf  baked good...

It is not the most beauteous thing to look at, but it is very very simple and healthy and delicious (and a good use for overripe bananas!). I used about 1/3 C sugar instead of 3/4 and it was not super sweet but still nice. It has no butter, so is an excellent dairy-free recipe. But then it is nice eaten with butter!

The recipe is from "A Second Helping: More from Ladies, a Plate" by Alexa Johnston.

I used this recipe at Taste but adapted it thus, for no particular reason other than that I wanted to use up some different ingredients:

I have adapted this from a recipe given to me by a student in my department, it was her grandmother's, originally (the student was considerably older than me), and makes a damn fine banana cake, I think perhaps the best I have tasted. I don't like bananas, but in cake like this, that's a different story. easy, fool-proof one could say. works well in a round or a ring tin, but then bake for slightly less time. I would just say if using chocolate it probably pays to line the base of the ...
