Title: Madeira's Honey Cake - Travelling with Thermomix p.56
Post by: cecilia on June 14, 2013, 04:19:59 am

"Have some Madeira, m'dear ..."

Well, unfortunately, there was none in the cupboard, but I used Muscat instead.  No stout on hand either, so I just used Boag's beer, and instead of brown sugar, molasses and the butter I put in the equivalent weight of my unset fudge.

Apart from those changes for the sake of convenience, I stuck to the recipe.

Oh - perhaps not.  It said "flour" and I used SR flour, so I may not need to rest the dough for the full twelve hours indicated.

The mixture smell is very appealing.

Bbl.

Goldfish, I hope you are better at cooking big cakes than I am.  As you see, the cake is a true tipsy and also more than a slight bt singed.  Oh well - nothing wrong with the recipe, just difficult to stay off the leftover beer and muscat!
