Simply Eggcellent #7 – cakes

1 September 2015 by Dominic Franks

toffee coffee vanilla naked layer cake

… well it is my birthday month and I mean to celebrate with plenty of cake so this September i’d like to see all your cake recipes… which use glorious free-range eggs of course. This way, by the time I turn 45 on the 24th I should have plenty of inspiration… it’s as simple as that… oh and i’m not fussy.  I’ll take anything from your basic iced cupcake all the way up to one of those triple layer, icing dripping down the sides monster cakes and all the way in between… traybake cakes, brownies, roulades, sponge cakes, fairy cakes… you can see I don’t care I just want to stuff them in my gullet.  So go get baking!

    I love eating cakes but haven't made one for a while. I'll try and have a go though. Now the weather is getting a little cooler I'm starting to want more desserts!

Cauliflower Coconut Curry This curry is the most Cauliflower Coconut Curry

This curry is the most wonderful warming stew, which is perfect for this time of year.  I love how fragrant it is (the whole house smells amazing!) I'm actually surprised by how quick and easy it was to make - it only took about 20 mins! 

I wanted to find a creative way to use the delicious @zenb_uk Veggie Sticks and Veggie Bites within my cooking. ZENB is a new, organic, plant-based brand that has created delicious on-the-go snacks. The company believes in including as much of the whole vegetable as possible, including the peel, skin, stem and seeds to help to raise awareness around issues of food waste.

I used the ZENB Red Pepper, Tomato and Chilli Veggie Bites in the curry sauce and then crumbled the ZENB Red Pepper Veggie Stick over the top.

ZENB can be purchased exclusively online - link in bio and full recipe now on the blog!

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!
