Cake a Day.....

After a week living it up in Cairns, we all needed to break our taste buds addiction to sugar etc but still needed some yummy morning teas to get us through a week of renovations on our sun room. So just for a bit of fun, here are the morning teas I made (all Quirky Jo recipes) and any variations.

Monday
Pancakes with Banana and Rainforest honey (from Cairns)

I made these just with Buckwheat and sliced up bananas which I put in each pancakes whilst it was cooking

Tuesday

Wednesday
Carrot Cake

Halved the honey and added some pumpkin seeds as well

Thursday
Flourless Pecan Cake

I didn't have enough pecans so used some walnuts instead. Also I couldn't face not using all the thick coconut cream in the tin so I added a bit extra. The cake was a little softer but so so yummy. The girls were at Pre-School but Guy and I nearly ate the whole cake. (mainly Guy actually it was a favourite of the week)

Friday
Sultana Spice Bread

Again I didn't have any pecan nuts so instead I made the 120g up with Brazil nuts, cashew nuts and pumpkin seeds. I have made this one before with Pecans and it still came out very similar with the different nuts. I didn't add the honey which is optional in the recipe.


My freezer is now full with the leftover cakes cut up in slices. YA!
