Hi Doree, no I have not tried them but they do sound yummy. I have a super recipe for ginger gems if you would like it.

For those wanting some good Kiwi baking recipes, here they are!!

Oh good ! I was looking for my copy of Armenian Nutmeg Cake yesterday, couldn't locate it and decided that I would have to trawl through this thread. Cookessentials, I'm sure I remember that it was you who posted the recipe and although I haven't made it for years I remember that it makes a really lovely cake.

Edited to add found at posts 206/207. For anyone looking for a cake that is a little different I can recommend Armenian Walnut and Nutmeg Cake.

2 1/2 cups (250g) plain flour

1 tbsp baking soda

1 pinch salt

125g unsalted butter

1 cup (220g) white sugar

3/4 cup (115g) brown sugar

2 eggs

4 ripe bananas, mashed

2/3 cup (170ml) buttermilk

1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts

preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and flour two 20cm round cake tins. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, bicarb soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in the bananas. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared cake tins.

The buttermilk is a great alternative making a very moist cake.

LIME AND PASSIONFRUIT DRIZZLE CAKE

125g butter, softened
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
3 eggs
½ cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 6 passionfruit)
1½ cups (220g) self-raising flour
½ cup (125ml) milk
whipped cream, to serve

Syrup
1/3 cup passionfruit pulp (approximately 4 passionfruit)
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup caster sugar

Preheat oven 170°C. Line and grease a deep 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.

Combine all cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric beaters on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat 1-2 minutes or until mixture is smooth and pale in colour.

Spread mixture into tin and bake 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand in tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

In the meantime, push passionfruit pulp through a fine sieve to collect juice; set aside. Discard half of the seeds and return remaining seeds to the juice.

Mix passionfruit juice and pulp, lime juice and sugar together in a small mixing bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Spike cake all over with a thin skewer and drizzle warm cake with syrup. Allow syrup to soak into cake before serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
