Dani Valent's Plum Syrup Cake

Last week I tried Dani Valent's recipe for plum syrup pudding. I followed her You Tube Video HERE
I was very pleased with the results.

First I made the plum sauce. I chopped the plums with sugar and then cooked them for 5 minutes in the thermie. I then blitzed it at high speed to make the sauce which is then set aside.

Next I made the cake.
I weighed in the nuts and ground them in a few seconds.

I then added the eggs, butter etc and mixed them at speed 5.

It made a lovely smooth batter.

 I placed a quarter of a cup of plum syrup on the top and swirled it in before adding the sliced plums.

Pulled Pork and Barbecue Sauce

I decided to use a Barbecue Sauce Recipe from the Cookidoo Sauce collection to accompany Pulled Pork tonight.
First I chopped the onions with butter and then cooked them for 5 minutes.
I then added the other ingredients and the sauce was cooked in 10 minutes and it was delicious with enough left over for another meal.

Here are the other ingredients weighed out while the onions were cooking in the butter.
This was then added to the mixing bowl.

The barbecue sauce with the meal. I cooked the Sweet Potatoes, Carrots and Green Beans in the Varoma and then mashed the sweet Potatoes with Butter and seasoning in the Mixing Bowl.

Chocolate Guiness Cake

I have been wanting to make a Chocolate Guiness Cake for a while. After I melted the Guiness and Butter I added the Cocoa,Sugar, Sour Cream, Eggs and Vanilla and mixed them in. I then added the Flour and Bicarb of Soda.

I then poured the Cake Batter in to the 24cm round cake tin and baked it for 1 hour 10 minutes.

It had a delicious Chocolate Ganache topping made with Plain Chocolate and Double Cream.

 This is what a slice looked like!

Thermomix Chocolate Mini Egg Fudge

Last Saturday I had a table at a local craft fair. I made some Chocolate Mini Egg
Fudge. I used the same recipe as the one for Jelly Bean Fudge but I used plain chocolate instead of white. It only took 28 minutes to cook in the Thermomix and set to a good fudge consistency.
I also made some Vanilla Jelly Bean and some Mars Bar and Malteser Fudge. I sold 17 out of 28 bags!
