Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Re: Too Easy Chocolate Cake
« on: July 31, 2013, 12:43:18 pm »
I made this cake a few times with these variations:
- double the quantity
- only 150gm sugar
- ganache icing

I also forgot to melt the butter last time and it worked just fine. I just mixed it for 1 minute instead of 30 seconds.

Fantastic icing recipe - not sickly sweet so you can layer it on thick. Would be delicious as a chocolate filling in a sandwich cake too.

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / EDC ketchup

Hi
I just made the EDC tomato ketchup and thing the flavour is great (I would probably use a lot less sugar next time though). Big problem is it is very runny - like a liquid not a sauce. I have given it an extra 40 mins without the MC on. Any other suggestions.

Made this today but didn't have sokme ingredients so ad-libbed - it tastes great.  I used chopped dried apricots instead of chutney and added garam masala and chilli flakes for some heat. Also added pumpkin.

I did the two loaf tins and it worked out really well - needed only about 40 mins cooking.

Hi
Does anyone know how long this will keep for. I have not done a lot of preserving and I am nervous about giving people food poisoning  ;D

Just made it because I had a glut of carrots to use from the garden. Hubby and I just had a slice and it was perfect. Delicious and soooo moist.  But it is HUGE. Next time I will split mixture in half and do two loaf tins and freeze one.

I used almonds instead of walnuts (I hate walnuts)

Cooking time for mine was 65 mins in fan forced at 170C.

Made these last night and I loved them. I didn't put in the sultanas, nuts or choc chips and they still worked. 

Only problem I found was that 1 1/2 cups of flour by my measurement didn't weight anything near 330gm so I split the difference - still worked fine.
