squaremealsInspired by Dylan Hollis's Pumpkin Quickies, but that's just a tin of pumpkin and a spice cake mix, which if nothing else are not things you can easily buy here. Similar ingredients to my previous cake recipe but I like the way they work together in this form a lot more.
Ingredients:
Half a packet of Green's Caramel Mudcake mix
"Half a tin" (half a cup? 2/3 cup?) fruit and/or vegetable puree (see below)
cinnamon/ginger etc (optional)
1 egg
walnuts or pecans, preferably crumbled
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C. Put baking paper on a baking tray.
Whiz the milk and potato in a food processor until smooth. Add egg and cake mix and whiz again. Put 2 tablespoonish blobs on the tray with some space between them. Sprinkle generously with walnuts. Bake for 15 minutes.
Nicest while warm but not hot.
I've cooked this twice. First time I used a mix of sweet potato and apple puree, which ended up too wet but had an interesting sour tang. Second time was some (kinda dry) roasted purple sweet potato, plus enough oat milk to make a thick puree, maybe 2 Tb. I liked that a lot more, but I LOVE purple sweet potato desserts.
I'm sure it would work without the egg and/or nuts, then you're just making the Quickie recipe, but I like it like this. I suspect most people would like it more with extra sugar, the cake mix's included caramel icing would probably be nice drizzled over the top.
Making the blobs is more effort than a cake, but then you don't have to cut it afterwards.
