Orange Yoghurt Cake

This is super moist on the inside and nice and crunchy on the outside! I have a lot of oranges and yoghurt at the moment so thought I would combine the 2 together with some baking!

I used my Kmart Silicon Mini Loaf Pans for this – you can use any cake tin for this – muffin ones, square ones, or 1 loaf/cake tin but you will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Cut the ends off the orange and with a sharp knife, cut the orange rind off (leaving the white peel)

Cut the ‘white peel’ off

Quarter the oranges – discard the ‘white peel’ and ends of orange, and use the orange rind and quartered orange flesh

Add all cake ingredients to bowl

Mix 10 seconds/Speed 7

Pour into greased cake/loaf pan(s)

Bake for 30 minutes or until tops are browned

Wait for cakes to cool and make icing. Place icing in a zip lock bag then cut off the corner.

Pipe on top of the cakes

If you wish (and have an extra orange) – grate the rind of an orange

And sprinkle on top of icing

Orange Yoghurt Cake

Moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside – ENJOY!

Healthy Banana Bread

This is a delicious and moist banana bread with a beautiful texture from the sultanas and walnuts.
This recipe is from my FIL’s partner, Jane. After visiting their place the other day, my husband and I were dreaming about it, it was so delicious! I have converted this recipe to make a quick and easy banana bread in the Thermomix! This takes a total 15 ‘Thermomix’ seconds to mix up, so is super quick and easy to make, but it is in a few steps so that the sultanas and walnuts aren’t blitzed up too much!!

Add 3 x bananas, self raising flour, oil, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to bowl.

Mix 4 seconds/Speed 5. Scrape down.

Add walnuts – mix 3 seconds/Speed 3.

Add sultanas – mix 8 seconds/Speed 2/Reverse.

Pour into loaf tin…

…and decorate with 1 x chopped up banana on the top.

Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.

Leave to cool for a few minutes before cutting…a beautiful texture with the walnuts and sultanas!
