Scout suggested that we weren't making nearly enough desserts for this project...
...so we made this lovely orange cake...
...delicious and very, very rich...
...so we buttered (with Earth Balance) a pan and got cooking...
...using an organic orange...
...we grated the rind of one orange...
...it smelled so good...
...this is sugar and 'egg yolks' - really Ener-G egg replacer...
...you add the orange juice...
...and cake flour...
...sifted of course...
...mix that all up - and it looks like cake batter...but...
...then you have to mix in your 'egg whites'...and for this, I thought I'd try using Soy Isolate Powder - I read on some blog that I can't find now that you could use this powder to make meringues - so I got some just to give it a try...this is what it looks like whipped - not really impressive - but they said it wouldn't loose it's volume while cooking...so we'll give it a try...
...fold that in...
...pour into the prepared pan...and bake...
...It came out lovely - and then as it cooled it fell in the middle just a bit...
...on to the filling now...

ReplyDeleteWow! This looks impressive and delicious. I could practically smell the orange peel as I read the blog and drooled over the pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Three oranges sound perfect. (I always modify my citrus recipes by adding extra zest.) Your pictures make my mouth water.
ReplyDeletewow, i just read all the past few posts. the eggs were just down-right amazing!!
ReplyDeletelove, k
I made a good recipe this evening. Aubergines, simmered rather than fried, layered with cheese, topped with a simple onion/garlic/tomato sauce. Layer of auberginer, layer of cheese, layer of aubergine, sauce, quite a lot of basil leaves and a sprinkle of cheese.
ReplyDeleteI know you have vegan 'cheese', so it is doable. I am using potatoes next time as aubergines are expensive here!
We passed an old allotment site this evening with a massive rhubarb plant. I (well Ian) got 800 grammes and I am going to make chutney with it tomorrow. That sounds good, we love chutney here - especially the 'older' generation!
Thank you for your very kind post.
Looks wonderful!
