DUTCH APPLE CAKE
125g Butter 1 Cup Sugar 2 eggs 1 1/4 Cup warm smooth as apple sauce
2 Cups Flour (plain, wholemeal or a mix of) 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon cloves
2 Diced apples 1 Cup Raisins 1 Cup Macadamia nuts (or nut of choice)
Mix sugar and butter then add eggs 1 at a time.
Slowly add apple sauce and mix well.
Stir in flour and dry ingredients.
Add diced apple, raisins and nuts.
Line a baking tin and bake at 180 for approx 45 mins.
This is the most moistest cake and soft cake out! It makes a big cake and I always double it and freeze one:)
If you have it, you can replace the Cinnamon with a dutch spice mix called "Speculaas spice" and its just as Devinne!

I made Gordon Ramsay's roast potatoes with turmeric and chilli flakes (made half of his and half 'normal' roast spuds), they went down a treat.
2.5kg potatoes sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1½ tsp ground turmeric pinch of chilli flakes, to taste 4–5 tbsp olive oil (or goose or duck fat)
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel the potatoes, quarter lengthways and place in a large saucepan of salted cold water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and sprinkle with the turmeric, chilli flakes and some salt and pepper. Toss in the colander to coat evenly, then drizzle with a little of the olive oil and toss again. Put the rest of the olive oil in a roasting tray and place in the oven for a few minutes to heat up. Carefully add the potatoes and toss to coat in the oil. Roast for 40–45 minutes, turning a few times, until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper and transfer to a warmed dish to serve.

Nigellla Lawson's ultimate christmas pudding which turned outfantastic - I think due toquite alot of Pedro Ximenez, the prunes, and the stirred in Xmas wishes! Also Nigella's festive chocolate cake which was chocolatey, fruity, squidgy and boozy. A good combo!
I made the cowells pav recipe.Just made one and a half times the recipe.It was so easy to make and turned out fantastic.Nice, not too crispy shell and marshmallow inner.
Food in a Minute Southwest Salad, really good as left overs too as the flavours had developed more.My first pasta salad.

I made this amaretto and cherry cheesecake. Plus a splash of drambuie. The waiting was excruciating and at one stage was contmeplating having it before the main course. Very worth the wait(or weight)! Wouldn't cookup so many cherries next time. Makes a good size. Or use a smaller tin and have more depth to the cheesecake. Yum.
I would love to try the beer can chook but I stuff my chooks (criminal if I don't)

Lemon silk - flipping amazing alternative to mousse/creme brulee/panacotta if you only have a bit of time.Took 10 minutes tops and was great - served it in shot glasses with a bit of chocolate shaved on top.
