Made this for a dinner party last night. Whilst the guests liked it, I didn't. I did not realise that Jamie's meant Jamie Oliver. My experience with his recipes has not been favourable but that is another story. The above recipe does not tell you what size cake tin to use (I used 20cm which is correct for this recipe). It does not tell you what to do with the almonds once you set them aside but I assumed they needed to be added with the flour. It does not tell you whether to use coarse or fine semolina - I used coarse but the recipe I found when I googled Jamie's recipe uses [200g] fine semolina. Other differences include the amount of sugar [225g] which is stated as caster sugar (but not above), huge difference in the amount of almond meal [225g],greek yoghurt [225ml] number of eggs [5], amount of oil [200ml], amount of flour [nil]. Baking powder is the same. Whilst the cake uses the zest of one orange and one lemon, the syrup only uses the juice of the orange - not the lemon as stated above. The list of ingredients for the syrup are;a handful of walnuts, a handful of pistachios, a handful of raisins, juice of one orange and 100ml of honey. So 150g of pistachios as stated above is way too much. I understand the intention is to adjust the recipe for the thermomix but in my opinion, this did not work.
I saw this on telly yesterday so glad to see somone has adapted it!! Its on the meal plan this week!
