  • 80 g French green lentils
  • 1-2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 Long red chilli, finely chopped

  1. Grease and line the base and two sides of a 25cm x 11cm loaf tin, allowing the paper to overhang on the two sides.

Beetroot Chia Seed Chiffon Cake

Tuesday, February 17, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Known for its light, moist, tender texture and rich flavour, chiffon cakes are so versatile and are always made with oil, not butter. It gets its height and airy texture from whipped egg whites. The cake needs to be turned upside down immediately upon removing it from the oven as this keeps the cake from shrinking and losing its volume as it cools. To dress it up, you can pour a beetroot glaze over the top or decorate with buttercream frosting. I like to dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and it is great when served with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

On February 19, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all happiness and prosperity in the coming year of the SHEEP.


Beetroot Chia Seed Chiffon Cake

inspired by Ann's Chiffon Cakes
Yolk BatterMeringue
  • 160 g Cake flour, sifted
  • 40 g Chia seeds
  • 160 ml Organic beetroot juice
  • 110 g Sunflower oil
  • 2 package NuNaturals White stevia powder
  • 6 Medium egg yolks, at room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 60 g Fine white sugar
  • 5 package NuNaturals White stevia powder
  • 15 g Cornstarch
  • 6 Medium egg whites, at room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  1. Sift the flour twice into a mixing bowl. Add in chia seeds. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
  2. Beat beetroot juice, sunflower oil and NuStevia until well combined and emulsified. Add in flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
  3. Combine white sugar, NuNaturals and cornstarch in a bowl. Beat the egg whites and lemon juice on medium-high speed until frothy. Gradually add in sugar stevia mixture and beat until stiff and glossy.
  4. Fold 1/3 of meringue into the egg yolk batter to lighten it up, then fold in the remaining meringue and fold until well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch/25-cm tube pan and bake on the lowest oven rack for about 70 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert baking pan and cool completely. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan to remove the cake. Serve the cake with some whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired, or simply dust with some icing sugar.

Amaranth Walnut Einkorn Cookies

Friday, February 13, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



These healthy and nutritious whole grain cookies with walnuts and amaranth are easy to bring along and delicious to enjoy with a cup of tea. The trick with these cookies is to allow the dough to chill thoroughly and firm up, ideally overnight. If the dough balls become soft while you finish them with the walnut halves, chill the baking sheet with the cookies for 20 minutes before baking. Rolling them in amaranth seeds adds a wonderful crunch, but they are also delicious without.

Amaranth Walnut Einkorn Cookies

adapted from Epicurious
  • 120 g Walnuts, toasted and ground
  • 100 g Einkorn, ground into flour
  • 30 g Amaranth flour
  • 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 100 g Butter, softened
  • 0,4 g Pure stevia extract powder (or 120 g sugar)
  • 1 Large egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp Brandy
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp Amaranth seeds for rolling
  • 32 Toasted walnut halves
  1. Whisk together the ground toasted walnuts, ground einkorn, amaranth flour, and sea salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and pure stevia powder with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
  3. Add the egg yolk, brandy, and vanilla extract and beat until well blended, about 30 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the walnut-flour mixture until it is just incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill until the dough is firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
  4. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper. Place the amaranth seeds in a small bowl. Pinch off walnut-size pieces of the firm dough and roll them between your palms into smooth 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in amaranth seeds, gently pressing to adhere if needed, and place on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between pieces. Make an indentation with your thumb in the center of each ball, gently pressing it down about a third of its height, and then lightly press a walnut half into the center. Chill again for 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Bake, one tray at a time, until the cookies just turn golden brown around the edges and firm up but still yield to gentle pressure, 17 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a wire rack to cool. The cookies will crisp as they cool.

Lemon Yoghurt Spelt Cake

Saturday, February 07, 2015

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com





This moist, tangy lemony spelt cake, adapted from Donna Hay, uses Greek yoghurt and sunflower oil rather than butter for a moist, soft, delicate crumb that just melts in your mouth, and to cut down on calories and sugar intake, a combination of applesauce and stevia works as a substitute. It is very easy, quick to mix and freezer friendly.

Lemon Icing
  • 300 g Refined spelt flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 180 ml Sunflower oil
  • 2 Eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Finely grated lemon rind
  • 60 ml Lemon juice
  • 300 g Plain Greek-style thick yoghurt
  • 100 g Unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 g Pure stevia extract powder
  • 1 tbsp Savoury leaves
  • 160 g Icing sugar, sifted
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp Boiling water
  1. Preheat oven to 160C/320F. Grease and flour a 25cm non-stick bundt pan. Whisk together the spelt flour and baking powder.
  2. Place oil, eggs, lemon rind, lemon juice, yoghurt, applesauce and stevia in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Sift over the flour mixture and stir until smooth.
  3. Pour the cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 50–55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to stand in the pan for 5 minutes.
  4. To make the lemon icing, combine the icing sugar, lemon juice and boiling water. Carefully turn the cake out onto a cake stand and spoon over the icing while the cake is still warm. Sprinkle with savoury leaves and allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
