How many of us have days in the kitchen (or elsewhere) when things do not go plan?
Today decided to make carrot/banana cake as our sweet treat. Bit bored of economy banana cake.
Every week we have one or two past it bananas to use so This week after some good threads on here I thought I'd add in carrots.
Found a recipe and amazingly some chia seeds in the cupboard.
Substituted 1d seeds in water for half the oil, and made a huge mess as I topped up measure with oil and overflowed madly as couldn't see level properly with sun shining on chia gel and oil in same cup. Stupid mistake.
So far not too bad....
Chopped carrots in TMX, added mashed nana, eggs and sugar then remembered that all my spices ginger etc are still packed along with my Baking powder. Ahhhhhh.
Silly me.
Luckily had not added any flour so quickly switched to SR flour and added 1 heaped tsp of proper molasses for added flavour.
Phew in oven now.
Will advise on results later.
Recipe as should be
3 med carrots blitzed
Add in 2 mashed bananas
1/2 cup oil, ( I substituted 1d chia seeds soaked in water for just over half this)
3 eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar (or less)
1 and 1/2 cups flour with 2 t BP
Should have cinnamon too and was going to add ginger. So added 1heaped t blackstrap molasses and used SR instead.
Made one ring mould and 6 muffin ones ( no 5 actually as I had to try one while still warm).
