Olive Oil And Quince Paste Madeira Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil and flour a loaf pan.
• Beat eggs in a bowl until lightened in color. Add sugar, olive oil, orange zest, and five-spice powder and beat until smooth. Fold flour, baking powder, and salt into egg mixture until batter is just mixed. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 175°C and grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper (about a 1 Litre capacity).
• Place the orange and lemon zest with the caster sugar in the mixing bowl. Rub the zest into the sugar until most of the sugar has turned into a nice lemony colour (this infuses the sugar with the citrus oil).
• Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs and orange juice.
• Beat the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
• Spoon a third of the batter into the loaf tin and scatter over about half the diced quince paste. Spoon another third of the batter, scatter some more quince paste over then pour the remaining mixture over the top.
• Bake for 10 minutes then dot more quince paste over the top.
• Bake for a further 30 minutes or until it's well risen and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake.
• Remove from oven and allow the cake to completely cool in the tin.
• Dust the top with icing sugar and serve with a dollop of marscarpone and fresh orange slices. Store the cake in an airtight container (it'll keep for a week).

Steps:

• For the cake:.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9" springform pan with olive oil. Line with a round of parchment, grease parchment, and set aside.
• Whisk to combine flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine eggs and honey. Whisk until lightened, about 3 minutes. Add oil and yogurt and mix until well-incorporated. Switch out whisk attachment for paddle and add flour mixture. Mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to create a smooth batter.
• Transfer to prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30-34 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool 5 minutes. Remove springform ring and let cake cool completely.
• For the coconut lemon curd:.
• Combine coconut cream, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking, until smooth and quite warm to the touch, about 2-3 minutes. Place egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisking continuously, gradually pour coconut cream mixture into yolks to temper. Return mixture to pot over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously and scraping the sides of the pot as necessary with a heatproof plastic spatula, until mixture bubbles and thickens. Let continue to cook at this stage for two minutes. Remove from heat and add butter, whisking until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
• and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Place in refrigerator and let cool completely. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance.) Once cool, add lemon juice to taste and to thin to a spreadable consistency.
• For the blueberry sauce and ricotta filling:.
• In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, and 1 tablespoon water. Place over medium-high heat and cook until blueberries burst and mixture becomes sauce-like, about 4 minutes. Let cool completely.
• To assemble cake, remove parchment round and split cake layer in half crosswise. Place bottom half on a serving platter. Top with half of the whipped ricotta, spreading to the edges of the cake. Spread with 1 cup coconut lemon curd, reserving remaining for serving. Place top half of cake on top and spread remaining ricotta to cover. Finish with blueberry sauce. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Line bottom of a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan with parchment; grease parchment., In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in lemon zest. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture., Transfer to prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Arrange the quince in a greased roasting tin or casserole and scatter over the sugar and vanilla seeds, throwing the pod in too. Add the orange zest and lemon juice, and pour over the madeira and 100ml water. Cover with foil and roast for 25-30 mins until the quince are pink and very tender.
• Leave to cool, then blitz half the quince into a purée and finely chop the other half. Reduce the roasting juice in the pan to a syrup. Stir the purée and finely chopped quince together. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold through the Greek yogurt and a little of the syrup. Layer in glasses with the quince mix and syrup. Chop a few hazelnuts to sprinkle on top and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, ¾ cup cold water, olive oil, vanilla paste, and ¾ cup of the sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture, carefully folding with a spatula until well incorporated.
• In a stand mixer with the whisk, whip the egg whites, cream of tartar, and lemon zest on medium-high until very frothy and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add the remaining ¾ cup sugar, little by little, to incorporate it into the egg whites. Keep whipping the eggs until they're slightly shiny, have some volume, and just barely hold their shape (soft peaks), about 2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the egg yolk/flour mixture little by little, folding with a rubber spatula, until very well combined.
• Pour the batter into an ungreased 9 × 13-inch baking pan. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool upside down, in the pan, on a wire rack. (This will help the cake retain its height.)
• Meanwhile, make the soaking liquid: In a large bowl, stir together whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, olive oil, vanilla paste, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
• Once the cake is cool, carefully run an offset spatula or butter knife around the sides of the pan to release the cake from the sides, but leave the cake in the pan.
• Poke holes all across the surface of the cake with a cake tester or toothpick and pour the milk mixture slowly and evenly over the top (it may take a few minutes for the mixture to soak all the way in). Cover the cake and refrigerate overnight.
• Just before serving, make the mascarpone topping: In a stand mixer with the whisk, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until thickened and it just barely holds its shape, about 2 minutes. Add the mascarpone, vanilla paste, sugar, and salt and whip briefly to combine.
• Spread all of the topping across the top of the cake with an offset spatula or the back of a large spoon.
• To serve, slice the cake into roughly 3-inch squares. Drizzle with the olive oil and top with lemon zest. Leftovers keep, tightly sealed in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
