Avoca Carrot Cake Recipe Biography
Source(google.com.pk)Oh dear, I have a feeling I will never get a full night’s sleep. On my days off, I am cooking and taking pictures. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my cooking and baking weekends, they let me get through the rest of the week : True, it takes a lot of time but still when people ask me what I do for fun, I say bake and take photos. ‘What else?’ they say. I say, ‘Umm what
My first time making a carrot cake and Avoca recipe. This is by far the most moist carrot cake I have ever had. I didn’t change the recipe at all, it was perfect. So carroty, that hint of spice, yummy! Such a classic recipe, old fashioned, traditional. But what could be better? It is not avant garde, but who cares
To make 2 loaves of this fabulous carrot cake, you need;
Preheat the oven to 170C. Line two loaf tins with baking parchment. Whisk the sugar, eggs and oil together until pale. Then mix in the flour, mixed spice & salt. Now, stir in the grated carrots and vanilla essence. Pour the mixture into the tins and bake in an oven for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave on the baking parchment to cool completely.
To make the cheesy yummy topping;
Beat the cream cheese, butter, lemon juice and zest together. Then beat in the icing sugar. Finally, spread on top of the cooled cakes.
A Kitchen is a Building in FarmVille 2, which allows to craft food. Each crafting consumes Power 1 Power. The Kitchen is built on the Farmstead Kitchen Expansion so you have to expand this land to use the Kitchen.
In the kitchen you can create a large amount of recipes all food related. Many recipe are limited time and some require Farm Bucks Farm Bucks to get ingredients.
It is rarely a good move to buy ingredients for the Kitchen with Farm Bucks. While many of the highest-coin recipes depend on bought ingredients, it is better to spend the Farm Bucks on animals, which will produce a much greater number of desirable ingredients and give you much more coins in return for your farm buck investment.
Beside the recipe in the kitchen, there is also the Workshop and the Crafting Kiln where you can produce a variety of recipes.
All recipes are now moving to their own pages so please check this page and the List of Kitchen Recipes to find the recipe you are looking for.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8” cake pans.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
In a food processor fitted with a large shredding disk, shred the carrots; fit the processor with the metal blade and pulse the grated carrots 3 to 5 times. Pour the carrots into a large mixing bowl. Process the granulated and brown sugars and eggs until frothy and thoroughly combined, about 20 seconds. With the machine running, add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Process until the mixture is light in color and well emulsified, about 20 seconds longer. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the carrots. Stir in the dry ingredients until incorporated and no streaks of flour remain. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake to room temperature in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
I first saw a recipe for a beetroot chocolate cake about 2 years ago when a recipe came with my weekly organic veg box. Boxes had contained bunches of beetroot for about 4 weeks running and the company were kindly helping keep us in ideas to ensure no anti-beetroot campaign. I turned my nose up at it. Beetroot in a cake? Yuck.
It’s funny how our tastes and preferences develop and change over time. I’ve never considered myself a fussy eater (minus animal products as a vegetarian/vegan!), I’d eat anything as long as it met my vegetarian values. I loved beetroot and of course loved chocolate, especially chocolate cake, but the two together just didn’t appeal to me.
Two years later, I come across a recipe for avocado cookies. I bookmark the recipe and think it’s a genius idea. This reminds me of the beetroot chocolate cake which I’ve seen dozens of recipes for since. It suddenly doesn’t seem such a bad idea or at all gross as I’d initially reacted. After all, carrot cake, pumpkin pie, sweet potato bakes – all things I love.
The result? Rich, moist, craveable deep chocolate flavour with the benefit of beetroot and avocado’s range of health boosting qualities and antioxidants.
2 cups/250g plain flour of choice white, wholemeal, spelt, gluten free
1 cup + 2 tbsp/100g + 10g ground almonds
2 heaped tsp baking powder gluten free if necessary
2 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 heaped tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 cups/500ml cooked beetroot, mashed
1/2 cup/125ml date syrup or other liquid sweetener
1/2 cup/125ml agave syrup or other liquid sweetener
1 cup/250ml mashed avocado
1/4 cup/60ml flavourless oil rapeseed, sunflower
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup/160g chopped dark chocolate, melted
Chocolate glaze
Preheat oven to 160’C/320’F and line a 9 inch round cake tin.
Take the largest area pan you have and add the ground almonds, toast, shaking the pan frequently over a medium heat until golden, being very careful not to burn them. Measure 1 cup and keep the 2 tbsp aside.
Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, 1 cup almonds, through to salt) in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the wet ingredients (beetroot through to melted chocolate) in a separate bowl, when combined add to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
Bake for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out free of wet batter a few moist crumbs are OK.
Leave to cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the tin and leaving to cool on a wire rack and drizzling with the chocolate glaze and sprinkling with the reserved almonds. Delicious served still warm.
I imagine things have changed since I was a little kid, but in my day, once the chocolate cornflake cakes and jam tarts had been mastered, Fairy Cakes were one of the next sweet delights a British child would learn to make in the kitchen. Fairy Cakes were also de riguer at every self-respecting single-digit birthday party in the country.
I have mentioned fairy cakes a couple of times on my blog before. The first time, I featured Fairy Cakes by my niece in Dublin, Mollie. The second time, more recently, I baked some for an English tea party. Neither time did I include a recipe, but since I get so many hits from people looking for information on how to make them, I thought it was time to share the instructions.
This recipe, no doubt a Marguerite Patten one originally, is so etched into my brain from my childhood, I don't even need to go and look in a book when I bake them. There is nothing elegant or sophisticated about these cakes, they are simply childish wonders which attract magical fairies.
Ingredients makes 30 mini fairy cakes
4 ounces butter
4 ounces Baker's or Caster Sugar
4 ounces sifted Self Raising Flour or All-purpose flour + half tsp baking powder + pinch salt
2 eggs
1 cup sifted Powdered or Icing sugar
Juice of a lemon and zest, optional
Food colouring of your choice if desired

Stop adding lemon juice as soon as it reaches the fondant stage.

I ran the London Marathon in April 2011. In fact I enjoyed writing a blog about Marathon running so much, that I decided I just had to keep a blog afterwards – hence Cucina Ceri was born. I experimented a lot with marathon nutrition throughout my training and here are links to 2 of the key recipes I used as part of my training – both with the aim of being as un-processed and natural as possible;
Over the last few years I have attended a number of events & courses – in part for me to develop as a person, but also for the benefit of the blog. A link to my reviews of all of these are below;
In Jamaica, avocados are often eaten with bread, especially hard dough bread, with bullas a round basic firm sweet cake, in which stale bread is often an ingredient, in vegetable salads, and as a side dish with meals. When eaten with bread and bulla avocados function as cheese or butter. When eaten in a salad or as a side dish avocados are treated as a vegetable. In some other places, avocados are often treated as fruits and are often used in drinks. Avocados are native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean
Avocados are healthful: High avocado intake has been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood serum cholesterol levels. "Specifically, after a seven day diet rich in avocados, hypercholesterolemia patients showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL good cholesterol levels." Moreover, "Approximately 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat. Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K. They have the highest fiber content of any fruit - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.This information draws heavily on Wikipedia's excellent article.
According to Wikipedia, “The avocado is very popular in vegetarian cuisine, making an excellent substitute for meats in sandwiches and salads because of its high fat content. The fruit is not sweet, but fatty, distinctly yet subtly flavored, and of smooth, almost creamy texture. It is used as the base for the Mexican dip known as guacamole, as well as a filling for several kinds of sushi, including California rolls. Avocado is popular in chicken dishes and as a spread on toast, served with salt and pepper. In Brazil and Vietnam, avocados are frequently used for milk-shakes and occasionally added to ice cream and other desserts. In Brazil, Vietnam. The Philippines and Indonesia, a dessert drink is made with sugar, milk or water, and pureed avocado. Chocolate syrup is sometimes added. In Australia it is commonly served in sandwiches, often with chicken. In Ghana, it's often eaten alone in sliced bread as a sandwich. . .The avocado flesh oxidizes and turns brown quickly after exposure to air. To prevent this, lime or lemon juice can be added to avocados after they are peeled.”
Try the following recipe: scoop out the flesh of one or two very well ripened avocados, puree it in a blender, add sweetened condensed milk to taste, and dilute as necessary with either water or cows milk. It makes an excellent shake. Seasonings such as nutmeg and or vanilla may be added sparingly. And the undiluted mixture can be processed in an ice cream maker to make an interesting ice cream.
Following our trials and tribulations as we attempt to remove all grains, many starchy vegetables and most sugars from our diet while maintaining our love of good food! We strive to make all of our recipes GAPS and/or SCD compliant. Note: We didn't know about "Grain-Free Gourmet" when we chose our name. We are not affiliated with those good folks.
The recipe for this came from another blog called GAPS Guide by Baden. The recipe is called Carrot Mousse Cake and is about halfway down this page.
Baden says the recipe was loosely based on a recipe for a pie filling, so I decided to bake mine in a pie dish rather than a loaf pan. It is delicious! I decided not to use the coconut flakes yet, but I think they will add a nice touch soon.
The whipped topping is meringue batter that I put into my ice cream machine. It came out a little like soft serve ice cream, a lot like frozen whipped topping, and it works perfectly on the pie! The cold topping on the warm pie really gave this a "comfort food" sort of feel.
This would also work as a side dish- it's a bit like candied yams. It would really be nice with a roast turkey breast, chestnut stuffing, and Brussels sprouts.
For Valentine's Day we wanted to have a dinner that was delicious and fancy and didn't remind us that we are on a special diet. This is what we came up with:
Crab legs
Artichokes with garlic mayonnaise
halibut steaks in a lemon sauce
Peas with mint
Green Salad with Vinaigrette dressing
Artichokes are a favorite food in our family, and are something that works on the diet fairly early. My favorite way to eat crab is alongside a green salad with a tangy vinaigrette dressing. The peas were cooked according to a recipe called "Peas in the French Style" from the book The Complete Vegetarian Cuisine by Rose Elliot. Basically, the peas are cooked in butter along with shredded lettuce, with a sprig of mint on top while cooking to impart a minty flavor the mint is removed after cooking and discarded. This was an interesting variation on peas.
Around the second or third week of the diet, fillet Mignon was on sale at the grocery store and became the central player in our first extravagant meal, which also featured french onion soup and asparagus in ghee. Our family has been following various restricted diets for over 3 years now, and we have learned that this is much easier and more pleasant to do when we periodically splurge on something special. We never eat out anymore, so this takes the place of a restaurant meal. We call them "morale boosters".
Other ideas some we've tried and some we haven't yet
