bolo de cenoura

E uma promessa! Sem sultanas e com ganache de chocolate para o André :)

Carrot cake do Home Bake de Eric Lanlard.

Ingredientes para o bolo 225 g de farinha com fermento 250 ml de óleo de girasol ou de milho (usei 200 g de canola) 225 g de açúcar amarelo (pus 180g) 3 Ovos grandes 1 colher de chá de canela moída 1 colher de chá de noz moscada moída fresca 250 g de cenouras descascadas 100 g de sultanas douradas (não coloquei) 100 g de nozes picadas

Ingredientes para a cobertura (usei 100 g de chocolate 50%cacau e 50g de manteiga) 300 g de queijo creme meio gordo 150 g de manteiga sem sal  25 g de icing sugar amarelo

Preparação Aqueça o forno a 180ºC. Unte uma forma de pão rectangular com 25cmx11cm e polvilhe com farinha.Verta o óleo para uma tigela grande e misture com o açúcar. Adicione os ovos e bata a mistura. Coloque uma peneira sobre a tigela e despeje a farinha e as especiarias moídas (ralei na hora). Misture a farinha até obter uma massa homogénea.Corte as extremidades das cenouras e rale-as para dentro da tigela. Envolva a cenoura, as nozes e sultanas na mistura e verta a massa para a forma. Leve ao forno por cerca de 1 1/2 hora (no meu demorou 1 hora e 15 minutos), ou até a lamina de uma faca espetada no centro sair limpa. Deixe arrefecer na forma 5 minutos e desenforme sobre uma rede. Entretanto prepare a cobertura: bata o queijo com a manteiga numa tigela com a ajuda de uma colher de madeira. Adicione o icing sugar e a raspa fina  da laranja (só a parte laranja da casca) e misture tudo. Quando o bolo estiver frio coloque a cobertura com uma espátula. Não guarde o bolo no frio pois ficará duro.

Ok so we've ended up with a ballistic mega mix.

The one suggested by sutton has caused controversy so here are the three other suggestions.

The first: Balls vs Jackman suggested by juke boxx  (um ....yeah, maybe i guess)

(also check out the illustrious suggestors we're getting these days)

The second: Balls vs. James by Oates 

the third was one that crash and i saw the other morning and we both at the same time said that if balls was a bit more effeminate and baked and was french he would totally be baker extraordinaire Eric Lanlard

Ale me hearties

Bless the summer holidays.  All that telly to be watched without guilt.  Time to read magazines cover to cover.  Meals eaten at random times.  'Tis the life indeed.  Cake Girl has the telly permanently tuned into the Food TV channel.  It provides a soothing background dialogue, complete with drool factor and intrigue.  Such was a recipe that caught Cake Girl's eye: chocolate ale fruit loaf.  It's an Eric Lanlard creation and because he is both French and a baker, he gets my full attention.  

Eric's recipe uses dried fruit soaked in chocolate ale, which he says is brewed with cocoa bean husks to impart a rich chocolatey-ness.  He does add that any dark ale can be substituted but how this provides the chocolate dimension isn't clear.  This wasn't the main issue for Cake Girl.  Instead it was the revelation that the only beer in the house was lager and apparently lager is not ale.  Not being a beer drinker, this supposedly significant difference was lost on Cake Girl and instead a good pile of cocoa powder was added to the lager and fruit.  It looked the same as Eric's mixture so that counted as success.  

A cake of fresh yeast was about to expire and figuring this was a loaf recipe, Cake Girl bravely replaced the baking powder with yeast.  The back-up plan was to hurriedly stir in baking powder just before baking if the doughy mass showed no signs of rising.  Miraculously, this emergency measure wasn't necessary and from the oven emerged two lager-moistened, fruit-laden chocolate-hued loaves.  Eric suggests eating the loaf with aged cheddar cheese and honey but that sounded too weird for Cake Girl.  Instead freshly-made raspberry jam (three cheers to mother-in-law, probably the only person in the universe still making jam at home) and squirty cream (yes, from a can - very classy!) won the day.
