It's good as a hot dessert too, and needs less cooking time for this (see method). If you liked this, why not have a go at the chocolate 'MagicBeanCake', the recipe is here - or try my Coconut and Lemon 'MagicBeanCake' here
Pop your cubed salmon into the freezer for half an hour first, to make for easy mincing/chopping in a food processor, and make the texture as smooth or chunky as you like - a slightly chunky texture will give you deliciously moist and tender fishcakes

If you're not looking to make the GF DF variety, and just want normal cake bottoms, you could make plain or chocolate cake batter, and just put a tbsp or so in the bottom of muffin tins instead - or, you could make Jaffa muffins by using the orange and melted chocolate toppings on top of muffins - or even better, on top of chocolate MagicBeanCake muffins, for a really delicious twist
My daughter wanted to make some little cakes to sell at school to. (See below for Thermomix method). Fairly cakes seemed like a simple solution, so we made this lemony version, and iced them with a little lemon-flavoured buttercream, and they turned out absolutely delicious
Method - Thermomix. Mini carrotcakes with a spiced honey butter. SPICED HONEY BUTTER. I might have got a little off the topic from carrotcakes, but my point is, life is busy
This cake is a bit of a sensation - there are versions everywhere now, I originally started off with a version from the Australian Thermomix recipe community (there's even more than one there
Spread all over the cake and decorate with a few bits of orange peel. This ThermomixSpicedCarrot Traybake is the ultimate pleasure if you are looking for something to warm you from the inside
Today we celebrated my cousin's birthday so I decided to try out a new recipe for a carrot and apple cake but of course I gave it a little of my healthier twist
Add all the ingredients for the glaze (excluding the almonds or the sugar coating) to a pan and heat for a few minutes until melted together [Thermomix
Do you make carrotcake 'from scratch', the old fashioned way. Carrot peels in the sink, bits of grated carrot sticking to the grater and scattered over the counter, a chopping board covered in bits of walnuts and pineapple, a bowl for the wet ingredients, goop from the eggs on the counter, a whisk, a bowl for the dry ingredients, a floury sieve, a wooden spoon
The carrot, radish, leek and spring onion (scallion) chopping is down to your discretion - whether you chop it by hand for a more authentic texture while your rice porridge is cooling, or whether you cut them into chunks then throw it into the food processor first, and pulse until chopped to a coleslaw-like texture (if you're doing this in a Thermomix it will take literally a few seconds
Finely chop the herbs and spring onions (Thermomix. Add the chopped spinach, eggs (beat with a fork in a bowl, first, unless using a Thermomix), milk, salt and pepper to taste (I add 1/4 tsp of each, as feta is already salty), a grating of nutmeg, and lastly the melted butter, and stir until thoroughly combined (TM Speed 4 / 15 seconds)
The lentil dish in itself is vegan, so if you wanted to make this into a vegan or vegetarian main dish, you could miss out the chicken, and add extra vegetables, and top with some crumbled feta (not vegan), and/or roast some spiced squash or sweet potato wedges and red peppers in the oven
