Banana, chocolate and walnut loaf

banana loaf

Another super easy G&B recipe. Yum! Decided to split the 2lb recipe so we could bring some small cakes with us to Skye. Can’t walk very far without the occasional carbohydrate snack to sustain us. The 1lb loaf took 35min at 180degC (150degC in my fan oven), and the 6 little loaves took about 25min. End result out of the 1lb corrugated cardboard “tin”:

Easy-peasy Clementine Cake

clementines

  • Prepatory stage for super-easy-to-make clementine cake: cover 4 small clementines with water, boil for 2h, cool, pulp, reserve.
  • Beat 6 eggs, and add: 225g caster sugar, 250g ground almonds, 1tsp baking powder.
  • Stir in clementine pulp.
  • Bake in a lined springform tin for 1h at 190degC (cover with parchment/foil at 40min or the top burns).
  • Grate 100g of Maya Gold chocolate (G&B, or other orangey-dark chocolate slab) on cake straight out of oven. Wait till it cools to remove it from the tin.

Recipe originates from Nigella Lawson, courtesy of G&B’s chocolate recipe book.
