Recipe Thread

Since I remember a pretty good conversation the other week about culinary delights, I figured a recipe thread is in order

POST SOME FOODZ!!!

Carrot Cake with Lime Mascarpone Icing

250g unsalted butter
250g light brown soft sugar
5 large free range eggs (separated)
zest and juice of 1 orange
170g self raising flour
1 heaped tps of baking powder
100g ground almonds
100g shelled walnuts
1 heaped tps ground cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
pinch of ground nutmeg
1 half tps of ground ginger
250g carrots (peeled and grated)
sea salt

Icing:
100g mascarpone cheese
200g full-fat cream cheese
85g icing sugar
zest and juice of two limes

instructions:
pre-heat oven to 180c/350f/gas 4, grease a decent size tin, beat the butter and sugar together, add the egg yolks in one by one beating each one in before adding the other. add the orange zest/juice, flour, baking powder ground almonds, walnuts, spices, grated carrot and MIX THE FUCK OUT OF IT. In separate bowl whisk your egg whites with a pinch of salt until thick and frothy, then fold into the cake mixture. put that shit in the tin then bang in the oven 50-60 mins (don't open that door while cooking or you'll let the heat out).

for the icing just put all your ingredients in a bowl and go nuts, spread over cake when done and sprinkle with some left over walnuts

Cooked it myself, it was damn tasty, but go easy on the lime maybe, its quite strong, or leave it out all together.

now no one can say the cake is a lie

Ooooh, you never mentioned Lime Icing! =D

That pie was awesome, the recipe you just wrote seems a little too basic though...
