Loz24: Sesame oil is an extremely strong flavoured oil- as you are probably aware it is only used a tablespoon at a time in Asian/Indian recipes. 60g would have tasted awful.
It was definitely the oil and not the recipe that turned out badly. I guarantee that if you try this again with the correct oil (even coconut oil makes a fine substitute) you will not fail again. Then you may be able to adjust your 1 star rating to a more accurate 5 stars
I've been making this cake for years and everyone who tries it asks for the recipe. Happy cooking!
Thank you Penny for converting this recipe for the Thermomix
I didn't have macadamia or walnut oil so substituted it with sesame oil after doing some googling. Ended up having it with lashings of cream as it was pretty terrible, threw it in the bin after we had both tasted it - not sure whether how bad it was was down to the sesame oil or recipe in general.
I’ve been making Theresa Cutter’s original version of this for years. It’s a freezer staple in our house. So pleased to see it converted for the Thermomix. This is exactly as the original. Thank you.
Delicious! I doubled the cinnamon and used stevia powder instead of honey and added 1 cup of almond milk to compensate. Also added 2 tbsp ground flax for added fibre. Will be making these often. Thanks!
A really easy cake to make. Not your traditional carrot cake but very nice.
Lovely moist cake. Hubby was surprised to hear it was so healthy
I chopped up some dates in place of the sultanas. Will be making again for sure.
Yommo!!
This was soo yummy, even my extended family (non-healthy eaters) loved it. I added dried cranberries to the mix instead of saltanas....
Didnt need icing, was good enough.. We froze it in slices for kids lunch boxes & was great defrosted as well
This is my go to cake for any occasion. I just love it. Thank you for sharing.
Quite nice flavours! I added two tablespoons of cornflour, as I normally find almond cakes stay a bit too moist. It worked really well! Calories were 489 per 1/8 of the cake.
Is made this yesterday and was very happy with the taste so I gave it 5 stars... Always in the lookout for delicious grain free recipes ...this is one of these.
